“…Yoga is an ancient practice that originated in India >4000 years ago and consists of several key components, including physical postures ('asanas'), breathing techniques ('pranayama'), relaxation and meditation ('dhyana') (9). A biopsychosocial approach is now considered to be the gold standard for treating chronic pain (10).…”

“…Therefore, the holistic approach to healing involved in yoga holds intuitive appeal for the treatment of CLBP. Indeed, there is a small but growing body of literature suggesting that yoga can increase muscular strength, joint flexibility and balance among patients with CLBP (9,(11)(12)(13). Recent research has also indicated that yoga can reduce pain catastrophizing, increase pain acceptance and improve overall emotional functioning among individuals with chronic pain (14)(15)(16)(17).…”

The results of the present study indicate that yoga may be an efficacious adjunctive treatment for CLBP. The strongest and most consistent evidence emerged for the short-term benefits of yoga on functional disability. However, before any definitive conclusions can be drawn, there are a number of methodological concerns that need to be addressed. In particular, it is recommended that future RCTs include an active control group to determine whether yoga has specific treatment effects and whether yoga offers any advantages over traditional exercise programs and other alternative therapies for CLBP.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Integrated Approach of Yoga Therapy (IAYT) as an add-on in patients undergoing conventional treatment for chronic low back ache. One hundred and twenty patients suffering from chronic low back ache (CLBA) aged between 18years to 75years Yoga( 41.29±15.87) and Control (41.63±13.48) from Ebnezar orthopedic center, Bengaluru were randomly assigned into two groups; yoga group (YG) and control group (CG) to receive IAYT or Therapeutic exercises after Intermittent lumbar traction and ultrasound (20 minutes per day). Both the groups practiced supervised interventions (40 minutes per day) for 3 weeks at the center and later for 12 weeks at their residences after the completion of treatment. 57 (yoga) and 55 (control) subjects were available for the final analysis. Both the groups were assessed for pain on the 1 st day in the pretest and on the 21 st day in the post test. Data was analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance (RMANOVA). There was significant difference within (RMANOVA, P<0.001) and between the groups (RMANOVA, P<0.001) on pain with better improvements in the yoga group than the control group. Pain in the yoga (39.9%, 66%, 85%, and 98.9 %) and control (25.5%, 45%, 63% and 74%) improved in the yoga group better than the control group on the 21 st day, 3 rd month, 6 th month and 1year respectively. Integrated approach of yoga therapy (IAYT) as an add-on with the conventional physiotherapy significantly reduces the pain in patients suffering from chronic low back ache.
