About this study
Official title: Examining the Effects of Basic Body Awareness Therapy on Quality of Life, Pain, Work Stress, and Eating Attitudes in Adult Individuals
This study will examine the effects of a 10-week Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) program on pain, work-related stress, quality of life, and eating attitudes in healthy adults working at a university. Twenty participants aged 25-55 will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group, receiving one BBAT group session per week for 12 weeks, or a control group, receiving no intervention during the same period.
Participants in both groups will be assessed before and after the 10-week period using validated scales: the Visual Analog Scale and McGill Pain Questionnaire for pain, the Job Content Questionnaire (work stress scale) for work-related stress, the Short Form-36 for quality of life, and the Eating Attitudes Test-26 for eating attitudes. In addition, participants in the intervention group will keep a session-by-session exercise diary, and their written reflections will be used to provide qualitative insight into how they experienced the intervention, complementing the quantitative results. This combination of quantitative and qualitative data collection is intended to provide both statistical evidence and a richer understanding of participants' experiences with the therapy.
Read the detailed description
Modern working conditions - prolonged desk-based work, high mental workload, insufficient physical activity, and psychosocial stress - are thought to reduce body awareness and contribute to the development of chronic pain, elevated stress levels, and disordered eating attitudes. Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) is a movement-awareness-based physiotherapy approach, originating in Sweden in the late 1970s-1980s from the work of psychoanalyst and movement educator Jacques Dropsy, which aims to help individuals consciously perceive and reinterpret bodily sensations. BBAT incorporates core movement principles such as balance, free breathing, coordination, and awareness, delivered through simple, gentle, and safe movements performed in lying, sitting, standing, and walking positions, as well as paired exercises. The approach has been applied across a range of conditions, including chronic pain, psychosomatic disorders, and eating disorders, with prior studies suggesting potential benefits for emotion regulation, self-esteem, and quality of life, and for supporting a healthier relationship with the body in disordered eating populations.
While previous research has examined the relationship between body awareness therapy and pain, work stress, eating attitudes, and quality of life separately, few studies have examined these outcomes jointly within a single controlled trial. This study addresses that gap using a two-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled design.
Participants will be academic staff at Amasya University, aged 25-55, who do not currently participate in a regular structured exercise program (e.g., yoga, pilates). Individuals with a diagnosed chronic illness or those on regular medication will be excluded. Participation is voluntary, and written informed consent will be obtained prior to enrollment. Baseline assessments will be conducted before randomization.
Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to an intervention group or a no-intervention control group (10 participants per group; 20 total). The intervention group will receive one 60-minute BBAT group session per week for 12 weeks, conducted in a university exercise room at room temperature. Sessions will include supine awareness and breath-focused exercises, midline awareness exercises (bringing the legs together), symmetric, asymmetric, and star-shaped stretches, breath-coordinated opening/closing movements, seated balance exercises, standing weight-shift and rhythmic movement exercises, rotational coordination, wave-like movement, pushing exercises, various walking exercises, "cat walk" massage, and a closing meditation. The control group will not receive any intervention during the same 12-week period. Participants in either group who miss two consecutive weekly sessions, or who begin another treatment program during the study, will be withdrawn from the study.
Quantitative outcomes will be assessed at baseline and after the 12-week period in both groups using the following validated instruments: the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire for pain intensity and quality; the Job Content Questionnaire for work-related stress (workload, job control, and social support subscales); the Short Form-36 (SF-36) for health-related quality of life across eight subdomains; and the Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26) for disordered eating attitudes, with a cutoff score of 20 indicating attitudes consistent with disordered eating risk.
In addition to these quantitative measures, participants in the intervention group will complete a structured exercise diary after each of the 12 weekly sessions, recording their subjective experience of the session. These diary entries and participants' written reflections will be analyzed qualitatively to provide contextual insight into how participants experienced the BBAT intervention, complementing and helping to interpret the quantitative findings. This mixed-methods approach is intended to provide both statistical evidence of intervention effects and a richer, experience-based understanding of the mechanisms through which BBAT may influence pain, stress, quality of life, and eating attitudes.
Statistical analysis will be performed using SPSS. Descriptive statistics will be reported as mean ± standard deviation for normally distributed variables, median and range for non-normally distributed variables, and frequency/percentage for categorical variables. Within-group pre-post comparisons will be analyzed using the paired t-test (or the Wilcoxon signed-rank test where parametric assumptions are not met); between-group comparisons will use appropriate independent-samples tests. Categorical variables will be compared using the chi-square test, or Fisher's exact test where chi-square assumptions are not met. A significance level of p<0.05 (95% confidence interval) will be used for all statistical tests.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT)Behavioural
A 10-week, once-weekly, 60-minute group-based movement awareness therapy program based on Basic Body Awareness Therapy principles. Sessions incorporate lying, sitting, standing, and walking exercises focused on balance, free breathing, coordination, and body awareness, delivered in a structured sequence across the 10-week period. Participants record their subjective experience of each session in a structured exercise diary.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) | Experimental | Participants in this arm will receive one 60-minute Basic Body Awareness Therapy group session per week for 10 weeks, conducted in a university exercise room. Sessions include supine awareness and breath-focused exercises, midline awareness, symmetric/asymmetric/star-shaped stretches, breath-coordinated movement, seated balance exercises, standing weight-shift and rhythmic movement exercises, rotational coordination, wave-like movement, pushing exercises, walking exercises, "cat walk" massage, and closing meditation. Participants will complete a structured exercise diary after each session. Receives: Behavioral: Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) |
| Control | No intervention | Participants in this arm will not receive any intervention during the 12-week study period. They will undergo the same baseline and post-study (week 12) assessments as the intervention group, without participating in BBAT sessions or keeping an exercise diary. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Pain Intensity (Visual Analog Scale)
Pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), a 0-10 self-reported scale, with higher scores indicating greater pain intensity.
Measured: Baseline and Week 10
Change in Pain Severity (VAS-Visual Analog Scale)
Pain will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale, which yields a total score ranging from 0 to 10, 0 is means no pain and 10 means worst.
Measured: Baseline and Week 10
Secondary outcomes (3)
Change in Work-Related Stress (Job Content Questionnaire / Job Stress Scale)
Work-related stress will be assessed using the Turkish-validated Job Content Questionnaire, a 17-item scale covering workload, job control, and social support subscales, with item scores ranging from 1 to 4 and total scores compared against a median cutoff; higher total scores indicate higher perceived work-related stress (worse outcome).
Measured: Baseline and Week 10
Change in Health-Related Quality of Life (Short Form-36)
Quality of life will be assessed using the Turkish-validated Short Form-36 (SF-36), covering eight subdomains (physical functioning, social functioning, physical role limitation, emotional role limitation, mental health, vitality, pain, and general health perception), scored from 0-100.
Measured: Baseline and Week 10
Change in Eating Attitudes (Eating Attitudes Test-26)
Eating attitudes will be assessed using the Turkish-validated Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26), a 26-item self-report scale with total scores ranging from 0 to 78, where higher scores indicate greater disordered eating attitudes (worse outcome); a cutoff score of 20 or above indicates attitudes consistent with disordered eating risk.
Measured: Baseline and Week 10

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This study will examine the effects of a 10-week Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) program on pain, work-related stress, quality of life, and eating attitudes in healthy adults working at a university. Twenty participants aged 25-55 will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group, receiving one BBAT group session per week for 12 weeks, or a control group, receiving no intervention during the same period.
Participants in both groups will be assessed before and after the 10-week period using validated scales: the Visual Analog Scale and McGill Pain Questionnaire for pain, the Job Content Questionnaire (work stress scale) for work-related stress, the Short Form-36 for quality of life, and the Eating Attitudes Test-26 for eating attitudes. In addition, participants in the intervention group will keep a session-by-session exercise diary, and their written reflections will be used to provide qualitative insight into how they experienced the intervention, complementing the quantitative results. This combination of quantitative and qualitative data collection is intended to provide both statistical evidence and a richer understanding of participants' experiences with the therapy.

What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in Pain Intensity (Visual Analog Scale) (time frame: Baseline and Week 10). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07736599, which also lists 8 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Oct 2026.
