Yoga and Mindfulness for Chronic Low Back Pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a combination of yoga and mindfulness exercises can help reduce chronic lower back pain. It compares this program to usual care, and may be a good fit if your pain is bothersome but you are not too afraid that moving will make it worse.
