Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   This study includes both yoga intervention as well as physiotherapy intervention such as transcutaneous electrical stimulation and ultrasound treatment which makes it difficult to ascertain the effect of yoga alone. Hence the present study is planned to assess the effect of yoga therapy alone in the management of pain, walking time, and quality of life compared to exercise regimen among the subjects suffering from OA Knee.
