- Brief Summary
The study is aimed at evaluating the efficacy of Integrated Yoga Therapy vs Physiotherapy as management option for chronic low back pain in elderly patients. Patients will be provided with 2 weeks of monitored therapy followed by 10 weeks of home based follow up. Patients will be evaluated for pain using the 11 point Numerical Rating Scale at baseline, 1 month, 2 month and 3 month. They will also be assessed for feasibility , improvement in spinal flexibility, improvement id back disability, body mass composition and serum IGF-1 levels at baseline, 1 month and 3rd month. The patients in both the groups will be advised to continue their pharmacological therapy they are receiving which will be reviewed and modified during follow up according to the need of the patients.
