Yoga vs. physio: new study tests which is better for back pain and stiffness
NCT ID NCT06083090
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares yoga therapy to standard physiotherapy for people with moderate axial spondyloarthritis, a type of inflammatory arthritis affecting the spine and pelvis. Seventy-two participants will attend group sessions twice a week for ten weeks. The goal is to see if yoga can better reduce pain, stiffness, and fatigue than physiotherapy alone.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
yoga therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, yoga therapy could become a proven non-drug option to ease pain, stiffness, and fatigue for people with axial spondyloarthritis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (72 people) comparing two similar approaches, so any difference may be small or not apply to everyone. Yoga is generally safe but may not help all symptoms.
