Abstract Background A significant proportion of children and adolescents experience back pain. However, a comprehensive systematic review on the effectiveness rehabilitation interventions is lacking. Objectives To evaluate benefits harms for non-specific low pain (LBP) or thoracic spine in pediatric population. Methods Seven bibliographic electronic databases were searched from inception to June 16, 2023. Moreover, reference lists relevant studies reviews, three targeted websites, WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform searched. Paired reviewers independently conducted screening, assessed risk bias, extracted data related study characteristics, methodology, subjects, results. Certainty evidence was evaluated based GRADE approach. Results We screened 8461 citations 307 full-text articles. Ten quantitative (i.e., 8 RCTs, 2 non-randomized clinical trials) one qualitative included. With very moderate certainty evidence, with LBP, spinal manipulation (1–2 sessions/week over 12 weeks, 1 RCT) plus exercise may be associated greater likelihood experiencing clinically important reduction versus alone; group-based weeks (2 RCTs trial) reduce intensity. The found information provided via education/advice compliance treatment effective treatment. No economic examining identified. Conclusions Spinal beneficial reducing LBP intensity adolescents. Education should as part care program. overall sparse. Methodologically rigorous are needed. Trial registration CRD42019135009 (PROSPERO)
