to review and update the evidence for different forms of manual therapy (MT) for patients with different stages of non-specific low back pain (LBP).
MEDLINE, Cochrane-Register-of-Controlled-Trials, PEDro, EMBASE.
A systematic review of MT with a literature search covering the period of January 2000 to April 2013 was conducted by two independent reviewers according to Cochrane and PRISMA guidelines. A total of 360 studies were evaluated using qualitative criteria. Two stages of LBP were categorized; combined acute-subacute and chronic. Further sub-classification was made according to MT intervention: MT1 (manipulation); MT2 (mobilization and soft-tissue-techniques); and MT3 (MT1 combined with MT2). In each sub-category, MT could be combined or not with exercise or usual medical care (UMC). Consequently, quantitative evaluation criteria were applied to 56 eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and hence 23 low-risk of bias RCTs were identified for review. Only studies providing new updated information (11/23 RCTs) are presented here.
Acute-subacute LBP: STRONG-evidence in favour of MT1 when compared to sham for pain, function and health improvements in the short-term (1-3 months). MODERATE-evidence to support MT1 and MT3 combined with UMC in comparison to UMC alone for pain, function and health improvements in the short-term. Chronic LBP: MODERATE to STRONG-evidence in favour of MT1 in comparison to sham for pain, function and overall-health in the short-term. MODERATE-evidence in favour of MT3 combined with exercise or UMC in comparison to exercise and back-school was established for pain, function and quality-of-life in the short and long-term. LIMITED-evidence in favour of MT2 combined with exercise and UMC in comparison to UMC alone for pain and function from short to long-term. LIMITED-evidence of no effect for MT1 with extension-exercise compared to extension-exercise alone for pain in the short to long-term.
This systematic review updates the evidence for MT with exercise or UMC for different stages of LBP and provides recommendations for future studies.
回顾并更新针对不同阶段非特异性下背痛（LBP）患者的不同形式手法治疗（MT）的证据。
MEDLINE、Cochrane对照试验注册库、PEDro、EMBASE。
两名独立评审员根据Cochrane和PRISMA指南，对2000年1月至2013年4月期间的MT进行了系统综述，并进行文献检索。共使用定性标准评估了360项研究。LBP分为两个阶段；急性 - 亚急性和慢性合并阶段。根据MT干预进一步细分：MT1（整复）；MT2（松动术和软组织技术）；以及MT3（MT1与MT2联合）。在每个子类别中，MT可与运动或常规医疗护理（UMC）联合或不联合使用。因此，对56项符合条件的随机对照试验（RCT）应用了定量评估标准，从而确定了23项低偏倚风险的RCT进行综述。这里仅展示提供新的更新信息的研究（11/23项RCT）。
急性 - 亚急性LBP：与假治疗相比，MT1在短期（1 - 3个月）内改善疼痛、功能和健康方面有强有力的证据支持。与单独使用UMC相比，MT1和MT3联合UMC在短期改善疼痛、功能和健康方面有中等强度的证据支持。慢性LBP：与假治疗相比，MT1在短期改善疼痛、功能和整体健康方面有中等至强有力的证据支持。与运动和返校治疗相比，MT3联合运动或UMC在短期和长期改善疼痛、功能和生活质量方面有中等强度的证据支持。与单独使用UMC相比，MT2联合运动和UMC在短期至长期改善疼痛和功能方面有有限的证据支持。与单独进行伸展运动相比，MT1联合伸展运动在短期至长期改善疼痛方面没有效果的证据有限。
本系统综述更新了MT联合运动或UMC治疗不同阶段LBP的证据，并为未来研究提供了建议。
