This study followed PRISMA principles and conducted a systematic search in six electronic databases in May 2025, including PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus, EBSCO, LILACS, Cochrane Library, PEDro and Embase. The methodological quality of included studies was assessed using the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network checklist, and the certainty of the evidence was assessed via the GRADE approach. The meta-analysis was performed via RevMan 5.4. Descriptive analysis was performed if the data were insufficient
