| Abstract: | Background: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a leading contributor to disability and commonly involves persistent pain, activity limitation, and altered pain regulation. In addition to biomechanical factors, low-grade systemic inflammation has been discussed as a potential contributor to symptom persistence in subsets of patients. Standard care provides variable long-term benefit, creating demand for integrative, non-pharmacological approaches. Objective: To evaluate the effects of a structured Yoga Therapy program on pain intensity, functional disability (Oswestry Disability Index; ODI), and systemic inflammation (C-reactive protein; CRP) in adults with CLBP. Methods: Forty adults with non-specific CLBP were allocated to a Yoga Therapy group (n=20) or a control group (usual care plus back-care education; n=20). The Yoga Therapy program was delivered for 12 weeks, 60 min/session, 5 days/week, with supervised practice and guided home components. Outcomes included pain intensity (VAS/NPRS 0–10), ODI (%), and serum CRP (mg/L), assessed at baseline and post-intervention. Within-group changes were examined using paired tests; between-group differences were assessed using independent comparisons (p<0.05). Results: Baseline characteristics were comparable (p>0.05). The Yoga Therapy group showed significant reductions in pain (6.8±1.1 to 3.1±1.0; p<0.001) and ODI (42.6±8.9 to 21.4±7.6; p<0.001), while the control group showed no significant change. CRP decreased in the Yoga Therapy group (4.9±1.3 to 2.8±1.0 mg/L; p=0.002) but not in controls. Post-intervention outcomes were significantly better in the Yoga Therapy group than controls (p≤0.003). Conclusion: A 12-week Yoga Therapy program was associated with clinically meaningful improvements in pain and disability and a significant reduction in CRP compared with usual care and education. Larger randomized trials with longer follow-up and standardized biomarker methods are warranted. |
