Brief summary (from the registry)
The purpose of this research is to integrate the meditative components of integrative restoration (iRest) yoga nidra with simple and safe movement sequences derived from established yoga postures and physical therapy interventions for chronic nonspecific low back pain and to use telemedicine technology to facilitate the intervention in a diverse socioeconomic and racial/ethnic population. This project will first systematically adapt the iRest yoga intervention for the incorporation of movement using a consultative and iterative process followed by a pilot intervention to assess the acceptability and preliminary efficacy of this program for pain, back related function and to address body-mind regulation and biopsychosocial-spiritual well-being. Hypothesis: a yoga intervention emphasizing meditative movement and relaxation will be safe for remote delivery and effective for biopsychosocial-spiritual outcomes for people with chronic low back pain.
