The effects of the addition of mechanical traction to physical therapy on low back pain? A systematic review with meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: The literature suggests the short-term effectiveness of traction on pain in LBP with LR, regardless of the type or the dosage employed. Different effects of traction other the mechanical ones can be hypothesized. This systematic review may be relevant for clinical practice due to the similar effects of different traction types or dosages.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level I, Therapeutic Study.PMID:36939359 | DOI:10.5152/j.aott.2023.21323
