ImpactHigh impact

Abstract in brief

  • The review found moderate-quality evidence that combining exercise with education can reduce the risk of experiencing low back pain (LBP), but exercise alone or other interventions like back belts and shoe insoles have little to no proven effect.
  • The study analyzed data from over 30,000 participants across 21 randomized trials and used statistical models to determine the likelihood of LBP episodes and sick leave related to LBP, with varying levels of evidence quality.
  • Overall, the results suggest that certain preventative strategies, particularly exercise combined with education, may help lower LBP risk, but more high-quality research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of other interventions.]
