Brief Summary

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is the most common problem in the musculoskeletal system and causes disability. The prevalence of chronic low back pain is 80% in women. Although there are many causes of low back pain, it is often not possible to find the exact cause of the pain. The consequences of chronic low back pain include musculoskeletal problems, decreased sleep quality, decreased quality of life and limitation in activities of daily living, depression, anxiety, and decreased body awareness and kinesiophobia. Kinesiophobia is defined as the fear of re-injury gained after injury, which reduces physical movement and activity. Patients with kinesiophobia develop the idea that movement will cause re-injury and add to pain. This situation leads to avoidance of physical activity and functional disability in the long term. Body awareness, on the other hand, is the awareness of the messages that the brain receives from other parts of the body and from the outside. These messages that the person receives include not only his own body and movements, but also information such as the characteristics and locations of other objects in the environment. This information is blended over time and turns into experiences of the body. Today, a rehabilitation method consisting of exercise programs, in which the active participation of the individual is ensured, is recommended, especially in the treatment approach to chronic low back pain. Within the scope of physiotherapy programs; heat applications and other physical therapy agents, exercise applications are recommended. Yoga is an alternative exercise practiced in CLBP as a body-mind exercise. Yoga is an easy-to-apply, non-invasive, cost-effective, scientifically proven practice.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Demographic information form

  This form was prepared by the researchers to obtain the demographic data of the people participating in the study. In this form, information about the age, gender and occupation of the participants is recorded.

  10 minutes

• Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

  When Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is used, I have no pain at one end, very severe pain is written on the other end, and the patient marks his/her current state on this line. The length of the distance from the point where there is no pain to the point marked by the patient indicates the patient's pain.

  2 minutes

• Body Awareness Questionnaire

  The questionnaire is based on people's ratings of the situations they feel about themselves. After reading each statement, the number 1 to 7 is marked in the space to the left of the statement, which is appropriate for the person who filled out the questionnaire. The most accurate answer is the experience of the person filling out the questionnaire.

  20 minutes

• Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale

  It is a 17-item scale developed to measure fear of movement/re-injury. The scale includes parameters of injury/re-injury and fear-avoidance in work-related activities. As a result of the survey, the person gets a total score between 17-68 according to the answers he/she gives. The higher the score the person gets on the scale, the higher the kinesiophobia. shows that.
