Brief Summary

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

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a leading disability globally. Exercise therapies are one of the most commonly prescribed treatment options for CLBP. Specific breathing techniques have been shown to enhance brain-based pain modulation and autonomic nervous system balance; these changes have been shown to improve clinical effectiveness in terms of pain management and psychological factors compared to general exercise. However, no previous studies have added a specific breathing technique protocol to an evidence-based exercise program for CLBP.
