What is the efficacy of yoga for patients with low back pain?
Included studies compared yoga with no treatment, usual care, or active treatment in adults > 18 years of age with low back pain and assessed ≥ 1 of pain, back-related disabilities, health-related quality of life, generic disability, and global improvement. Yoga had to include a physical component and had to be the main intervention rather than part of a multimodal intervention, although cointerventions were allowed.
