Abstract Background This Bayesian network meta-analysis investigated the available randomized control trials (RCTs) to point out which acupuncture protocol is most effective for chronic aspecific low back pain (LBP). Efficacy was measured in terms of (Visual Analogic Scale, VAS) and disability (Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire, RMQ), Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). Methods PubMed, Google scholar, Embase, Scopus were accessed March 2022. All RCTs comparing two or more modalities LBP accessed. Only studies efficacy on patients with symptoms lasting a minimum 1.5 months, at least three episodes previous 12 considered eligible. The Review Manager Software (The Nordic Cochrane Collaboration, Copenhagen) used methodological quality assessment.

Background Chronic spinal pain (CSP) is a major global health challenge. Virtual reality-based training (VRBT) shows promise as complementary intervention for exercise therapy (ET). Objective This review aimed to provide conclusive evidence on the effectiveness of ET with and without incorporation VRBT CSP. Methods We systematically searched six electronic databases relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) available July 1, 2024. Two independent reviewers conducted literature screening, quality assessment, data extraction processes. Quantitative syntheses used Review Manager 5.4 Stata 15.1.
