Mind/Body Interventions for Chronic Low Back and Neck Pain in Military Personnel
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Yoga: Active Hatha and Yoga: Restorative for Chronic Low Back Pain and Chronic Neck Pain. Completed, enrolled 49 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
Our primary aim is to assess the feasibility of conducting yoga research among active-duty military personnel with Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) and/or Chronic Neck Pain (CNP). In addition, we will evaluate the yoga intervention preferences and refine an existing yoga intervention to address those needs. The study will prepare us for a R01 funded pragmatic clinical trial of yoga for CLBP and CNP in active-duty military.

Classical Hatha yoga with influences from Viniyoga and Iyengar yoga. Both Viniyoga and Iyengar yoga styles emphasize modifications and adaptations including the use of props such as straps and blocks in order to minimize the risk of injury and make the poses accessible to people with health problems and limitations
Restorative Yoga is a slow-paced yoga style that emphasizes relaxation and includes very little movement.
