Overall traffic light evidence: yellow light, promising evidence suggests possible effectiveness, but more research would increase our confidence in the estimate of the effect; red light, limited or inconclusive evidence.
*Different conditions were considered. It is not possible to evaluate the single outcome for each condition.
†Pain, work disability, headache frequency, quality of life.
‡Pain, constipation, quality of life.
ANSLBP, acute non-specific low back pain; CNCP, chronic non-cancer pain; CNSLBP, chronic non- specific low back pain; CNSNP, chronic non-specific neck pain; IBS, irritable bowel syndrome; LBP, low back pain; NSLBP, non-specific low back pain; PP, postpartum.
