Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is looking at how awareness of body signals (called interoceptive awareness) relates to pain and function in teenagers with chronic pain. It is also studying whether yoga, as part of occupational therapy treatment, can help improve these outcomes. **You may be eligible if...** - Your child is 11–21 years old - They have been diagnosed with a form of chronic pain and are receiving care at Connecticut Children's pain clinic - They have been referred to occupational therapy - Yoga has been planned as part of their occupational therapy treatment - A parent or guardian can provide consent (if under 18) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your child is not receiving yoga as part of occupational therapy - Your child has a cognitive impairment that prevents participation - Your child has a neuromuscular condition (like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy) that makes yoga inappropriate - Your child is already actively practicing yoga elsewhere or receiving occupational therapy at another location Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
