Forty RCTs were included. Exercise combined with education (OR: 0.59, CrI: 0.41 to 0.82) and exercise alone (OR: 0.59, CrI: 0.36 to 0.92) both prevented LBP episodes; exercise combined with education and education alone both had large areas under the…
“Increased rates of participation in running, regardless of its dose, would probably lead to substantial improvements in population health and longevity. Any amount of running, even just once a week, is better than no running, but higher doses of running…
“Altered cervical joint motion patterns were found in patients with neck pain.•Neck pain redistributed anti-directional joint motion during extension.•Neck pain increased overall anti-directional joint motion during flexion.•Anti-directional motion was most sensitive to neck pain in this study.•Recurrent neck pain showed…
“These findings provide some evidence of sex-specific relationships between individual inflammatory markers and knee OA pain. They expose a need for further exploration of sex-differences in this context, with potential future implications for treatment or drug development in OA.”Sex differences…
This paper describes a protocol for evaluating the efficacy of a physical activity promotion intervention in adults with whiplash associated disorders. A multiple-baseline, single case experimental design will be used to evaluate the effects of a physical activity (PA) intervention…
“Meta-analysis revealed a statistically significant overall effect in favor of yoga for headache frequency (5 RCTs; standardized mean difference (SMD) = – 1.97; 95% confidence interval (CI) – 2.75 to – 1.20; I2 = 63.0%, τ2 = 0.25, P =…
“When comparing a combined hip and knee muscle strengthening with knee muscle strengthening alone, pain was reduced in the combined hip and knee–strengthening group (SMD −0.99; 95% CI, −1.99 to 0.02; p = 0.05), whereas function showed a SMD of…

•Botulinum toxin type A is slightly more effective than placebo for pain reduction at 1 month. •Botulinum toxin type A does not increase the risk of adverse events. •Low certainty evidence limits our confidence in effect estimates. BTX-A was similar…
The finding that stronger thigh muscles 4 years after meniscectomy were associated with less severe osteoarthritic changes in the medial tibiofemoral compartment of both the operated and contralateral knee 11 years later, may suggest that strong thigh muscles can help to preserve…
