Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control arm
The control arm will involve usual care - 6 weeks of physical therapy, NSAIDs, and epidural steroid injections
No interventions assigned to this group
Yoga Arm
The study arm will involve a yoga protocol devised by Eddie Stern - a renowned Ashtanga yoga practitioner, and can include NSAIDs.
Yoga program
The intervention will be a 6-week ashtanga yoga program designed by world-renowned yogi Eddie Stern. Eddie Stern is an internationally known Ashtanga yoga teacher, in independent practice not affiliated with NYULH, who has done significant work exploring the physiology and science of yoga. He is not currently engaged in his own research. The yoga protocol for chronic back pain was designed with poses specific to addressing core strength but are gentle enough for patients in pain. The protocol is designed to be directed by a teacher initially but can be done at home and is only 18 minutes in duration.
