Summary
This small pilot study tested whether therapeutic gardening (horticulture) could reduce pain-related brain activity in 16 adults with chronic low back pain. Participants tried both gardening and handiwork sessions, and researchers used MRI scans to measure changes in a brain region linked to pain and emotions. The goal was to see if nature-based activity offers unique benefits for pain management.
