CRD SUMMARY:

This review assessed analgesic effects of treatments for non-specific low back pain and concluded that most effect sizes were small to moderate in comparison to placebo and did not differ between acute and chronic populations. Given small sample sizes and a lack of individual study results, the pooled effect sizes reported in this review should be interpreted with caution.
