Because of the debilitating sequelae, patients with primary brain tumors, particularly those with high‐grade gliomas, often depend on their family members for care and support early in the disease course.Despite their significant distress, caregivers of glioma patients report that their supportive care needs are often unaddressed by multi‐disciplinary oncology teams.To address the supportive care needs of both patients and their caregivers, we developed a dyadic yoga intervention that integrates targeted physical exercise with stress‐management techniques to manage symptoms and health‐related QOL.Building on our previous pilot studies, we sought to address these important gaps in the caregiver literature by comparing the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a patient‐caregiver dyadic yoga (DY) intervention and an individual caregiver yoga (CY) intervention relative to a usual care (UC) group. On the basis of previous trials enrolling caregivers of glioma patients, we hypothesized that at least 50% of eligible dyads would consent to participate; at least 70% of enrolled participants would complete the post‐treatment follow‐up assessment; and that participants would attend at least 2 of every 3 (i.e., 10 of 15) sessions.
