Abstract:
Objective To evaluate systematically the effects of three motortherapies, namely, yoga, Pilates and core stabilization training, on chronic low back pain (CLBP) with meta-analysis, and to offer a reference for the prevention and control of CLBP. Methods Data of the randomized controlled trails (RCT) concerning the effects of the three motortherapies on CLBP that were published by 31st January, 2017 were collected from PubMed, OVID, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, CBM, VIP and WanFang databases by literature tracing and manual retrieval, and the meta-analysis was conducted with RevMan 5.3. Results Totally 19 RCTs and 1 395 patients were included in the study. The meta-analysis results showed: yoga helped to alleviate the pain level of CLBP patients [WMD=-1.68,95%CI (-2.04--1.31), P< 0.01], and improve the patients' functional disorder [WMD=-2.01,95%CI (-2.22--1.79), P< 0.01];core stabilization training helped to alleviate the CLBP patients' low back pain [WMD=-1.32, 95%CI (-1.87--0.78), P< 0.01], and improve the patients' functional disorder [WMD=-0.84, 95%CI (-1.25--0.43), P< 0.01]; and Pilates helped to alleviate the CLBP patients' low back pain [WMD=-1.23, 95%CI (-1.44--1.01), P<0.01], but there was no strong evidence showing that it helped to improve the patients' functional disorder. Conclusions Yoga, Pilates and core stabilization training can help to alleviate CLBP patients' pain and improve their functional disorder, but yoga showes better effects than core stabilization training. There is no strong evidence showing that Pilates can help to improve CLBP patients' functional disorder, and therefore further research involving large samples from more clinical centers is needed.
