Treatment modalities for patients with Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome Type II: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Appropriate management of patients with Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome Type 2 (PSPS-T2) remains challenging. The need for robust evidence for treatment modalities is urgently pressing. The aim of this systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) is to compare different treatment modalities for patients with PSPS-T2 on pain intensity.

Methods

The study protocol was prospectively registered (PROSPERO;CRD42022360160). Four different databases were consulted from database inception to December 18th, 2023. Randomised controlled trials of interventions for PSPS-T2 were included. The revised Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool was used to assess risk of bias. A NMA with standardized mean differences was calculated with pairwise comparisons between all treatment modalities.<
