Individually Tailored Yoga Program for the Treatment of Chronic Neck and Back Pain
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Neck Pain Musculoskeletal, Back Pain, Unspecified
In brief
The goal of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility of an individually tailored yoga program delivered in a group setting for the treatment of chronic neck and back pain in a low income population. Chronic pain is one of the most common, costly, and disabling conditions, and is often refractory to treatment. Yoga is a promising treatment for chronic pain. This pilot study will test the hypothesis that study subjects will participate in a voluntary 12 week yoga intervention for the treatment of chronic neck and back pain, as assessed by attendance at 12 weekly yoga practice sessions. Secondary outcomes will include change in pain and quality of life scores over the 12 week study period as assessed by the Visual Analog Scale for Pain Severity and EQ-5D-3L.
