Can meditation help in managing low back pain?
Ramesh thought about the advice his boss gave him regarding his back problem. Meditation
can work wonders on the pain, Ramesh had heard. He had been suffering from low
back pain for the past 3 months. The medicine seemed to work for a while but
the pain always returned. What about meditation? Ramesh was simply not ready to
take up meditation right now.
A recent study (published in the Journal
of the American Medical Association) found that meditation based stress
reduction technique performed better than standard care in treating low back pain.
The study
The researchers observed 342 adults with persistent
low back pain. None of the study participants had a clear cause for the pain.
The researchers assigned some of the participants into a group with mindfulness
therapy led by an instructor.
The form of meditation used in the study was based
on mindfulness and combined with simple yoga poses in a group environment. The
participants of the study were asked to focus on body sensations, thoughts and
emotion without actively trying to change or control them.
The findings
After six months, the people in the meditation group
showed gradual improvement in their condition. They were able to do daily tasks
(such as doing the laundry or climbing the stairs) with greater ease.
Meditation can work alongside standard treatment in
the fight against back pain. The study clearly shows that there may be value in
offering people approaches that focus on the mind.
