Summary

This study looked at whether adding mindfulness training to a supervised exercise program helps adults with chronic low back pain more than exercise alone. 105 adults aged 18 to 65 took part in either exercise only or exercise plus mindfulness for several months. The goal was to see if the combined approach improved pain, strength, and quality of life better than exercise alone.
