Brief Summary:
Experiencing the death of a loved one is inevitable for older adults Before the coronavirus disease 2019 COVID-19 pandemic over 25 million people died annually in the United States including 52000 in Wisconsin alone and COVID-19 has added to this toll Each person who dies leaves an average of five grieving people behind Most grieving older adults are resilient and recover their pre-loss functioning within one year However in about 10 acute grief becomes protracted and debilitating leading to the development of prolonged grief disorder PGD a clinically diagnosable mental health condition PGD in older adults increases the risk for poorer medical mental health and cognitive outcomes lower quality of life disability premature mortality and suicide Despite the magnitude of this problem the neurobiology of PGD in older adults is poorly understood By using Iyengar Yoga IY as a probe for PGD neurobiology this pilot project aims to address this critical gap
Detailed Description:
Our goal is to conduct a pilot study to examine in PGD the modulating effects of 10-week IY on circulating endocannabinoid and emotion processing brain circuit and the associations between biological changes and clinical response
