Randomized controlled trials in non-pharmacological rehabilitation research: a scoping review of the reporting of sample size calculation, randomization procedure, and statistical analyses.

CONCLUSIONS: Recent reporting quality of non-pharmacological rehabilitation RCTs was investigated. We found that the quality of the article but not the quality of the journal in which it is published in may be associated to the quality of reporting in sample size methods, randomization processes, and statistical analyses reporting. The quality of study reporting may be enhanced utilizing a guideline that addresses the required information in sample size calculation, randomization of individuals, and proper statistical analyses used and reported.
