^*Based on results using multiple imputation; see Methods for details.

^†Target symptoms are those symptoms that were hypothesized to occur due to Yoga intervention

^‡p-value for Wilcoxon 2-sample comparing # of months with symptoms in the Yoga and control interventions

^§Distractor symptoms were symptoms that were hypothesized to be unrelated to the Yoga intervention. There were an additional 17 distractors each of which was reported a lower frequency than the 8 distractors shown and which did not differ in frequency by treatment assignment.
