Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Covid-19 outbreak and lockdown measures raised significant concerns over clinical management of chronic pain patients around the world. Patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMSP) are at high risk of physical disability, psychological distress, and poor quality of life. Analgesic medications were main management during lockdown, but opioid-related concerns have prompted to find immediate alternatives.

Present study was undertaken to determine whether patients randomized to tele-yoga therapy would experience less pain, disability and improved global health, adherence and satisfaction, compared with patients assigned to usual care.
