Study Description

Brief Summary:

Phase 2 - Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) Optimization Phase:

1. To conduct a factorial experiment that will allow us to evaluate the impact of each of the 4 intervention components on yoga dosage received. We will enroll a total n=192. All participants will receive the core yoga intervention, with random assignment to the four intervention components outlined above.
2. Use results from Phase 2 to choose an efficient combination of intervention components that, together with standard yoga classes, maximizes yoga dosage.
3. Examine mechanisms by which components are hypothesized to work.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Opioid Use; Chronic Pain	Behavioral: Weekly Yoga Classes	Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

In Phase 2, we will conduct a fully powered optimization trial. We will enroll 192 participants, planning to role approximately equal numbers of participants in both sites. In both phases, all participants will receive the core yoga intervention (12 weeks of weekly manualized yoga classes), with random assignment to the 4 key intervention components. Participants will be patients enrolled in methadone (MMT) or buprenorphine/naloxone (BUP) treatment with chronic pain. Enrollment period for this phase will last approximately 2 years.

• Plan to continue treatment for next 6 months
• Chronic pain, defined as pain for at least half the days over the previous three months, a mean score of 4 or higher on the Brief Pain Interference Scale (BPI; with reference to chronic pain), and pain severity of 4 or higher on a Visual Analog Scale (0-10) indicating "worst pain in the last week." Pain severity score will also refer to the areas of their body in which they have chronic pain.

(In cases where this is unclear, site PI will make final determination based on available evidence.)
• Severe or progressive neurologic deficits. (In cases where this is unclear, site PI will make final determination based on available evidence.)
• Other severe disabling chronic medical and/or psychiatric comorbidities deemed by the site PI on a case-by-case basis to prevent safe or adequate participation in the study (e.g., cognitive impairment that prevents a participant from understanding assessments; history of disruptive behavior in medical settings; severe disabling heart failure or lung disease)
• Surgery requiring overnight hospitalization planned in the next 3 months
• Pregnancy
• Homeless, defined as any time in the past month sleeping in a shelter or on the street.
