Study Overview
Brief Summary
Identification of the effects of yoga, stabilization exercise and home exercise approaches on pain, function,stress and quality of life in individuals with low back pain.
Detailed Description
44 patients participating in the study were divided three groups. The patients in the stabilization exercise group were instructed to perform hotpack, Trans-cutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and spinal stabilization exercises, the patients in the yoga group were instructed to perform yoga program consisting of breathing, relaxation and flexibility exercises. The patients in the home exercise group were instructed to perform stabilization exercise. The severity of the pain evaluated through visual analog scale, functional status and quality of life evaluated through Oswestry Disability Index(ODI), Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), respectively. Assessments were repeated before and after the treatment.

Arms & Interventions
stabilization exercise group
Spinal stabilization exercise were applied all patients additional with hotpack, TENS application in this group accompanied by physiotherapist.
Intervention: exercise (Other)
yoga group
Yoga program were applied all patients in this group accompanied by physiotherapist. Sessions included selected breathing exercises, warm up, asana and relaxation.
Intervention: exercise (Other)
home exercise group
Home exercise were applied all patients in this group supervised, controlled by physiotherapist every week.To make compliance easier for patients; a booklet including suggestions to prevent low back pain and description of exercises, were given. Prescribed exercises were selected in this booklet and checked&progressed in each control sessions.
Intervention: exercise (Other)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Changes in pain severity
Time Frame: change from baseline in pain severity at 6 weeks.
Patients' average resting and activity pain intensities assessed by Visual Analog Scale. The visual analog scale is an 11-point scale ranging from 0 to 10, in which 0 defines absence of pain and 10 describes unbearable pain. Participants asked to rate the average pain levels a horizontal 10 cm straight line on a white sheet from, before and after treatment.
Secondary Outcomes
- Changes in quality of life(Change from baseline in life quality levels at 6 weeks.)
- Changes of functional status(change from baseline in functional status at 6 weeks)
- Changes of stress level(change from baseline in stress level at 6 weeks)
- Changes of stress related biomarkers(change from baseline in serum level at 6 weeks)
