Comparative effectiveness of interventions incorporating physical activity in individuals with comorbid low back pain and depressive symptoms: a systematic review with network meta-analysis
Overview
This systematic review and network meta-analysis evaluates interventions combining physical activity for individuals with comorbid chronic low back pain and depressive symptoms. The authors analyzed five randomized controlled trials involving 834 participants to compare treatment effectiveness across various outcomes. Results suggest yoga with education may offer favorable mid-term effects, while antidepressant therapy combined with self-management shows long-term benefits over usual care. The resource notes that the overall certainty of evidence is low to very low and calls for further research.
