Forget painkillers, practice yoga and acupuncture to help relieve chronic pain. This is the result of a newly published scientific study.

Yoga can help relieve pain.

Researchers say that the review will help doctors take more measures to limit the pain of patients instead of always taking drugs.

The review was conducted by a team of scientists from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health Center (NCCIH) of the US National Institutes of Health. Dr Richard Nahin, head of the study, said: "For many Americans with chronic pain, the drug may not help them completely relieve pain and may produce unwanted side effects."

As a result, many people may switch to non-pharmacological measures to limit their pain. The goal of this study is to provide high-value information for health care professionals to support patients with chronic pain.

Researchers have looked at 105 tests to help control a patient's pain in the past 50 years. They found that there were no reports of side effects in clinical trials. The study focused on evaluating US test results for conditions that could lead to pain such as back pain, osteoarthritis, neck pain, fibromyalgia, severe headache and migraine.
