"Attending yoga classes in person can be challenging," said Robert Saper, M.D., MPH, chair of the Department of Wellness and Preventive Medicine at Cleveland Clinic, and senior author of the study. "This research shows that a virtual yoga class program can be a safe and effective therapeutic option for the treatment of chronic low back pain."
The findings show that participants who practiced virtual yoga classes reported reduced back pain intensity and improved back-related function, indicating that such programs may offer significant relief.
With this study, researchers examined whether virtual yoga classes would also be effective for the treatment of chronic low back pain, confirming their feasibility, safety, and effectiveness.
Chronic low back pain is very common -- up to 20% of adults worldwide have long-lasting or recurrent lower back pain, impacting daily activities and quality of life.
