“…However, the diagnosis and treatment of sciatica varies widely within and between countries, which may reflect treatment availability, clinician preference, and socioeconomic variables rather than evidence-based practice. [4] Clinical practice guidelines and systematic reviews recommend several conservative therapies as initial treatment for patients with sciatica. [5][6][7] Commonly used conservative treatments in clinical practice include bed rest, acupuncture, physical therapy, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics, nerve-nourishing drugs, hormones, and even opioids.…”

Background: There are more and more clinical studies on the efficacy of warm acupuncture in treating sciatica, but the systematic review of the efficacy of warm acupuncture is still lacking. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of warm acupuncture combined with conventional Western medicine in the treatment of sciatica.Methods: The review was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42022379486) and was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The following databases will be used to search the existing literature (from inception to January 2023

“…Effectively addressing acute and subacute LBP requires identifying interventions that yield immediate or short-term relief, as these stages often entail substantial pain and functional limitations [11][12][13]. Given the contradictory evidence and absence of consensus regarding the effectiveness of thrust manipulation for non-specific acute and subacute LBP, there is a clear need for a systematic review and meta-analysis to rigorously assess the available literature and offer a comprehensive consolidation of the current knowledge.…”

Objective: Clinical practice guidelines for chronic low back pain (LBP) strongly recommend thrust manipulation; however, its effectiveness for acute and subacute nonspecific LBP is controversial. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to synthesize the immediate or short-term effects of thrust manipulation on pain in patients with acute and subacute LBP. Design: Asystematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: A literature search was performed in international databases (CINAHL, Embase, MEDLINE, PubMed) in June 2023. Search terms were set according to PICOSD (participants, intervention, comparison, outcomes, study design). Risk of bias (RoB) assessment was performed using the RoB tool and quantitative analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4. The effect measure was standard mean difference (SMD) and the analysis model was random effect model. Results: The database was searched for 249 studies and six randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were finally synthesized after independent review by researchers. Only pain intensity was found to have a significant effect on pain intensity and disability (p<0.05). The pooled results showed a small effect size for pain intensity in acute to subacute LBP with thrust manipulation in sixRCTs(SMD= -0.44; 95% CI, -0.80 to -0.08) and a large effect size for disability in three RCTs (SMD= -0.96; 95% CI, -2.67 to 0.76). Conclusions: In conclusion, this review provides evidence supporting the effectiveness of thrust manipulation in reducing pain intensity and disability in patients with acute and subacute LBP. It highlights the potential benefits of incorporating thrust manipulation as a treatment option for LBP.
