CRD SUMMARY:

The authors concluded that indirect evidence for disability and pain favoured interspinous device placement compared to decompression. There were no significant differences for other outcomes but findings should be considered with caution due to indirect comparisons and short follow-up periods. Given the limitations of the evidence and potential for bias in the review, the authors’ cautious conclusions seem appropriate.
