Abstract
Background: Low Back Pain (LBP) is a painful condition of the musculoskeletal system that affects the quality of life and causes disabilities that can cease or limit daily life activities. Around 85% of the population has encountered LBP at least once in their lives. Due to sustained or improper postures, the incidence rate of LBP is reportedly high amongst healthcare providers worldwide. The treatments to manage LBP are generally some Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which only give short-term relief and are seemingly ineffective after a particular time, so higher doses are needed. This study aims to test the Cat-Cow yoga posture to manage LBP in longer terms.
 Methodology: It will be a uni-center randomized control trial, and the participants with musculoskeletal low back pain will be randomly allocated into two groups. Group 1 will receive the intervention, cat-cow yoga sessions, and Group 2 will get the general care guide. Altered levels of cortisol, substance P and beta-endorphins will be measured and compared at baseline and after completion of 12 weeks.
 Discussion: A practical and cost-friendly intervention that can help Back pain sufferers to reduce their pain. This study will determine the efficacy of a useful and cost-effective yoga technique to overcome the psychophysiological manifestations of musculoskeletal CLBP.
Highlights
Low back pain (LBP) is a dominant reason for musculoskeletal discomfort globally[1]
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) can cause a higher number of years lost to disability than that of other morbidities like cancers, respiratory syndromes, AIDs, accidents, and childbirth complications, and it is categorized as one of the ten most potential causes that contribute to illness and disability by Global Burden of Disease (GBD)[4]
The focus of research related to pain management is leaning towards all the interventions that could be used instead of pharmaceutical drugs and have the same efficacy and convenient for use
Summary
Low back pain (LBP) is a dominant reason for musculoskeletal discomfort globally[1]. Low back pain is considered ‘Chronic’ if it persists for three months or longer than three months. Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is responsible for disability, compromised life quality, and absenteeism from work worldwide[3]. 70% to 85% of adults have complained about the occurrence of such pain at least once in their life span.
