Manipulation has been widely used for the treatment of back disorders for centuries. However, until recently, randomized clinical trials have not been used to study the effectiveness of the various forms of manipulation. A review of recently published clinical trials indicates that manipulation is probably superior to certain control or sham treatments. This review also indicates that further randomized clinical trials are desirable and suggests the features that will be necessary in future trials of manipulation.
几个世纪以来，手法治疗已被广泛用于治疗背部疾病。然而，直到最近，随机临床试验才被用于研究各种手法治疗的有效性。对最近发表的临床试验的综述表明，手法治疗可能优于某些对照或假治疗。该综述还表明，进一步的随机临床试验是可取的，并提出了未来手法治疗试验所需的特征。
