Description

• Chronic pain affects over 30% of the global population, imposing substantial personal and economic burdens.1
• Multifaceted treatment plans, including pharmacological, physical rehabilitation, and interventional strategies, are recommended; however, barriers to care persist.2
• This pilot prospective cohort study evaluated the feasibility of chair yoga therapy—a nonpharmacological, breath-centric intervention—for managing chronic pain and anxiety.
