Overview

Systematic review and meta-analysis report reduced pain intensity in children with chronic low back pain, implying exercise is beneficial.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of exercise interventions on pain intensity in children and adolescents with nonspecific chronic low back pain.
  • Systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled clinical trials
  • Included studies published in English and assessed pain intensity before and after intervention
  • Searched five databases from inception to January 2026
  • Exercise therapy showed uncertain effects on pain intensity compared to no intervention (SMD = -0.99)
  • Combining exercise with adjunctive therapies resulted in a small additional pain reduction (SMD = -0.38)
  • Findings suggest that while exercise may help, certainty in its effectiveness is low due to methodological limitations
