Comorbid chronic pain and PTSD is common in veterans; this co-morbidity is associated with increased severity and poorer prognosis when compared to each outcome alone. Yoga has been shown to be effective for chronic pain and promising for PTSD, but yoga for comorbid pain/PTSD has not been examined. This manuscript offers empirical support for a yoga intervention for comorbid chronic pain/PTSD in a veteran population. Results are presented from a four-year pilot yoga intervention for comorbid chronic pain/PTSD at a large, urban Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Based on the Fear Avoidance Model of pain, the intervention used a cross-sectional, open-trial design with pre- and post-measures. T-test analyses were conducted on program completers (N = 49; out of 87 initially enrolled, 44% attrition rate), who were primarily African-American (69%), male (61%), mean age 51.41 (SD = 11.32). Results indicated trend-level reductions in overall PTSD symptoms, as measured by the PCL-5 (p = .02; d = .38), and in subscales of negative alterations of cognitions/mood (p = .03; d = .36) and arousal/reactivity (p = .03; d = .35). Veterans reported significant improvement in ability to participate in social activities (p < .001; d = .44) and significant reductions in kinesiophobia (fear of movement/physical activity, p < .001; d = .85). On a satisfaction measure with a range of 1 (quite dissatisfied) to 4 (extremely satisfied), mean rating was 3.74 (SD = .33). Yoga is a feasible and effective intervention for veterans with comorbid chronic pain and PTSD.
