Virtual Yoga for Diabetic Gastroparesis

This study is looking at whether virtual yoga can help people with diabetic gastroparesis. Gastroparesis is a condition where your stomach empties food too slowly, causing symptoms like nausea, vomiting, bloating, and stomach pain. You could be eligible if you are between 18 and 65 years old, have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, and have a confirmed diagnosis of gastroparesis. Researchers want to see if virtual yoga sessions, including breathing exercises and relaxation, can reduce your symptoms and improve your overall quality of life and mental well-being. The study aims to enroll 240 participants, but its current status is unclear.
