What this trial studies

This interventional study tests an online yoga module that includes breathing techniques, mindfulness, and guided relaxation for adults with diabetic gastroparesis. Participants will practice the program to see if it can lessen symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, and abdominal pain, and to determine effects on mental well‑being and sleep. The goal is to provide evidence on whether a non‑drug, accessible approach can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life for patients with this condition. The study is conducted at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center with local recruiting and follow‑up planned. Eligibility requires documented delayed gastric emptying and moderate symptoms, while excluding those with severe psychiatric conditions or recent abdominal surgery, among other criteria.
