TeleYoga for Chronic Low Back Pain: A Quantitative and Qualitative Study
NCT07216417 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a highly prevalent and debilitating condition, affecting 84% of the population over a lifetime1. CLBP is the leading cause of disability worldwide 2 and is a top condition for health care expenditure in the US3. Emerging evidence indicates that individuals with low back pain have altered neurophysiological processes within the central nervous system leading to high prevalence of anxiety and depression, and poor sleep quality4-7. Standard treatments often focus on the local source of pain; however, for many patients the persistence and severity of pain cannot be explained by peripheral pathology alone. Yoga is a promising mind-body integrative intervention, as it targets the psychological and neurophysiological aspects of pain. The efficacy of yoga practice for reducing pain8,9 and psychological distress10,11 has been shown by many systematic reviews and randomized control trials (RCTs)12-16. Additionally, mindfulness, meditation, and breathwork interventions produce meaningful improvements in pain17,18, anxiety19,20, depression21, and sleep quality22,23. Evidence clearly indicates yoga is an effective intervention for management of chronic LBP9. However, the majority of prior RCTs have included in-person yoga sessions 24-26, which may be a barrier to many people. Recently, virtual delivery of interventions is gaining popularity. A few recent studies reported promising feasibility of tele-yoga in people with various chronic pain conditions e.g. Alzheimer's 27, dementia 28, and knee osteoarthritis 29. Only one recent RCT conducted tele-yoga intervention for people with CLBP and resulted in decreased pain 14, but is limited to quantitative measures only and did not compare yoga against active therapy. No study has assessed participants' perspective of virtual yoga intervention for chronic low back pain, which is important to determine feasibility of tele-yoga for CLBP management. The objectives of this study are two fold: 1) to investig

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07216417
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07216417 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 40 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Taylor Rees, which has 1 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Low Back Pain appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Yoga is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT07216417 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Kansas. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
