CRD SUMMARY:

The review concluded that definite proof of treatment efficacy for both fusion and nonsurgical treatment of symptomatic lumbar degenerative disease remained unclear. Given the limited number of well-designed and adequately reported studies, the authors’ conclusions were suitably cautious and appear appropriate.
