Mindfulness-Based Therapy for Chronic Low Back Pain in Office Workers

29. maj 2026 opdateret af: Merve Sevindi İmançer, Dokuz Eylul University

The Effect of Mindfulness-Based Therapies on Pain Severity in Office Workers With Non-Specific Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study evaluated whether a mindfulness-based therapy program could reduce pain severity in office workers with non-specific chronic low back pain.

The study included staff members of Dokuz Eylul University aged 20 to 59 years who had low back pain for at least three months and worked at a desk for more than four hours per day. Participants were randomly assigned to either a mindfulness-based therapy group or a control group.

The mindfulness-based therapy group attended online group sessions once a week for four weeks. The sessions included breathing awareness meditation, body scan meditation, self-compassion meditation, and chair yoga practices. Participants in the control group continued their usual medical care during the study period.

The primary outcome of the study was pain severity, assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale. Secondary outcomes included physical activity level, disability related to low back pain, anxiety symptoms, quality of life, and mindfulness level.

Participants were evaluated at baseline, Week 4 (end of intervention), Week 16 (3-month follow-up), and Week 28 (6-month follow-up).

Våben og indgreb

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Mindfulness-Based Therapy Group
Participants in this arm received a four-week online mindfulness-based therapy program. The program consisted of weekly 60-90-minute group sessions delivered online in small groups of approximately 8-10 participants. The sessions included breathing awareness meditation, body scan meditation, self-compassion meditation, and chair yoga practices. Participants were also encouraged to practise breathing awareness and body scan exercises at home for 10-15 minutes daily and to record their practice using a mindfulness practice log.
Adfærdsmæssigt: Mindfulness-Based Therapy Program
The intervention was a four-week online mindfulness-based therapy program delivered in small groups of approximately 8-10 participants. Participants attended one 60-90-minute online group session per week. The program included breathing awareness meditation, body scan meditation, self-compassion meditation, and chair yoga practices adapted for office workers with non-specific chronic low back pain. Each session included a brief theoretical introduction, guided practice, participant reflection, and a question-and-answer section. Participants were encouraged to practise breathing awareness and body scan exercises at home for 10-15 minutes daily and to record their practice, thoughts, and emotions using a mindfulness practice log.
Ingen indgriben: Usual Care Control Group
Participants in this arm continued their usual medical care during the study period and did not receive the mindfulness-based therapy program during the active study phase. After completion of the six-month follow-up assessment, participants were provided with video and audio recordings and written materials introducing the mindfulness techniques used in the intervention group.

Tidsramme
Change From Baseline in Physical Activity Level on the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form
Tidsramme: Baseline, Week 4 (end of intervention), Week 16 (3-month follow-up), and Week 28 (6-month follow-up)
Physical activity level was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF). The questionnaire assesses walking, moderate-intensity activity, vigorous-intensity activity, and sitting time during the previous 7 days. Physical activity is reported as metabolic equivalent task minutes per week (MET-min/week). Higher MET-min/week values indicate higher physical activity levels.

Tidsramme: Baseline, Week 4 (end of intervention), Week 16 (3-month follow-up), and Week 28 (6-month follow-up)
Low back pain-related functional disability was assessed using the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ). The questionnaire includes 24 items scored as 0 or 1, resulting in a total score ranging from 0 to 24. Higher scores indicate greater functional disability.

Change From Baseline in Mindfulness Level on the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire Short Form
Tidsramme: Baseline, Week 4 (end of intervention), Week 16 (3-month follow-up), and Week 28 (6-month follow-up)
Mindfulness level was assessed using the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire Short Form (FFMQ-SF). The questionnaire evaluates five facets of mindfulness: observing, describing, acting with awareness, non-judging of inner experience, and non-reactivity to inner experience. Higher scores indicate higher mindfulness levels.
