Research shows therapeutic virtual yoga program can be effective for chronic low back pain

Chronic low back pain affects up to 20% of adults worldwide, making it a prevalent and debilitating condition for many individuals. Traditional treatments for low back pain often fall short, leading researchers to explore alternative options such as yoga. A recent study conducted by Cleveland Clinic researchers has found that a 12-week therapeutic virtual yoga program can be a feasible, safe, and effective treatment option for chronic low back pain.

Published in JAMA Network Open, the study involved 140 participants with chronic low back pain, with an average age of 48 and a majority of female participants. The participants were divided into two groups: the “yoga now” group and the “yoga later” control group. The yoga now group participated in virtual live-streamed yoga classes for 12 weeks, while the yoga later group continued with their usual medical care.

The results of the study showed that participants in the yoga now group reported significant reductions in back pain intensity and improvements in back-related function compared to the control group. Additionally, fewer participants in the yoga now group reported using pain medication, and they experienced improved sleep quality. These benefits were sustained even after the 12-week virtual yoga program had ended.

Lead researcher Dr. Robert Saper emphasized the importance of virtual yoga classes as a safe and effective therapeutic option for chronic low back pain. The study’s first author, Dr. Hallie Tankha, highlighted the comprehensive approach that yoga offers for managing low back pain, especially when traditional treatments fall short.

Moving forward, Dr. Saper plans to continue researching the benefits of virtual yoga for chronic low back pain with a larger and more diverse sample of patients from multiple health care systems. The goal is to increase access to this effective treatment option for individuals suffering from chronic low back pain.

For more information on the study, you can refer to the publication in JAMA Network Open with the DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2024.42339. The study was conducted from May 2022 to May 2023 and offers valuable insights into the potential of virtual yoga as a therapeutic option for managing chronic low back pain.

In conclusion, the research conducted by Cleveland Clinic provides promising evidence that virtual yoga can be an effective treatment for chronic low back pain. By incorporating virtual yoga classes into treatment plans, individuals experiencing chronic low back pain may find relief and improved quality of life.
