Sumario: | BACKGROUND: Low-income people are disproportionately affected by chronic back and neck pain. Yoga may be an effective therapy. AIMS: This feasibility pilot study evaluated an individualized yoga plan for the treatment of chronic spinal pain. METHODS: RESULTS: Individuals showed a mean change of −2.4 from pre/post 10-cm pain scale recordings (P = 0.028, 95% confidence interval [CI]: −0.390–−4.477) and a mean increase of 0.26 on the EQ-5D-3L (P = 0.029, 95% CI: 0.04–0.47). The intervention was well-received. CONCLUSIONS: An individually tailored yoga program was acceptable to these participants. Pain and quality of life scores appeared to improve. |
