Down-dog yoga for back pain in children
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether doing 'down-dog' yoga poses can help reduce back pain and improve posture in children with nonspecific lower back pain. Children will practice yoga and the study will check if it helps their pain and how they stand or sit.
