✅   Comparative efficacy of non-pharmacological interventions on kinesiophobia in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain: a study protocol for a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Health

Introduction Kinesiophobia is a significant factor which influences the prognosis of patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP). The restriction of functional training can severely impede functional recovery and contribute to negative emotional states (including anxiety and depression) and a heightened risk of insomnia while exacerbating the economic burden on patients. Although several randomised controlled trials have evaluated the effects of various non-pharmacological interventions on kinesiophobia in CNLBP, their relative efficacy and potential adverse effects remain ambiguous. This study will conduct a systematic review and network meta-analysis to identify which non-pharmacological intervention may represent the most effective treatment for kinesiophobia in patients with CNLBP.
