Summary

This study looked at whether adding breathing training to a standard exercise program can help adults with long-term back or neck pain. 183 people took part in a 12-week program. One group did only exercise, another added breathing exercises with biofeedback, and a third got general advice. The goal was to see if the breathing group had less pain, better mood, and sharper thinking. Results may show a simple, drug-free way to improve daily life.
