YOga for Patients With Chronic BACK Pain and Poor PROgnosis (YOBACK-PRO)
Effectiveness of YOga in Patients With Chronic Low BACK Pain and Poor PROgnosis (YOBACK-PRO Trial): a Randomized Controlled Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effectiveness of yoga for patients with chronic low back pain and high risk of poor prognosis. The main question it aims to answer is:
- In patients with back pain and high risk of poor prognosis, what is the effectiveness of yoga plus education on reducing pain and disability compared to a control group receiving education alone?
A total of 110 patients with chronic low back pain and classified as high risk of poor prognosis according to the Orebro Musculoskeletal Pain Screening Questionnaire (i.e. score ≥ 50 points out of 100) will be recruited for this study. Participants will be randomized into two groups: yoga and control. The yoga group will receive a 3-month course of yoga program consisting of two sessions per week and 3 educational classes. The control group will receive 3 educational classes over a 12-week period. Outcome measures will be assessed at baseline, at post-intervention (i.e. 3-months post randomization) and at 6-month follow up (i.e. 6-months post randomization).

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Other: Control
The control group will be invited to attend 3 educational classes.
In these sessions, participants will receive evidence-based information about self-management strategies and pain education.
|
Each educational class will last for 1 hour and consists of evidence-based information about low back pain, including, for example, self-management strategies, pain education, reassurance and common misconceptions about back pain.
|
Experimental: Yoga
In addition to the invitation to attend the same 3 educational classes on evidence-based information about self-management strategies and pain education, the experimental group will participate in a 12-week, twice-weekly group-based yoga program.
|
Participants in the intervention group will receive, in addition to the educational classes, a course of yoga program led by certified yoga instructors.
The program consists of a 60-min group session with up to 10 participants, delivered twice a week for 12 weeks.
