Abstract in brief

  • This umbrella review analyzed multiple systematic reviews and meta-analyses to assess the effectiveness of physiotherapy treatments in reducing delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which is common after intense or unfamiliar exercise and causes pain, inflammation, and reduced muscle strength.
  • The study evaluated the quality and bias of the included reviews using AMSTAR2, examined the overlap of primary trials, and created an evidence map to visualize intervention effects based on statistical measures like effect size and evidence strength.
  • Findings are based on 29 systematic reviews encompassing 863 trials, providing practical insights into which physiotherapy techniques may be most effective for managing DOMS, despite previous conflicting results in the literature.]
