Grappling With Trauma: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for First Responders
NCT07783516
This study is recruiting at 1 US site in 1 state, according to its ClinicalTrials.gov record last updated .
Summary
This study explores whether participating in an 8-week Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) program is linked to changes in trauma-related symptoms among first responders. Many first responders experience ongoing stress or exposure to traumatic events, and some prefer physical, movement-based activities rather than traditional clinical services to support their well-being. In this study, participants will attend BJJ classes one to two times per week for eight weeks.
