Evidence Map of Non-Pharmacological Therapies for Postpartum Low Back Pain
Abstract
This evidence and gap map aims to systematically synthesise the evidence on non-pharmacological therapies for postpartum low back pain, presenting the distribution of interventions, outcomes, and methodological quality, and identifying research gaps. Randomised controlled trials and systematic reviews/meta-analyses are included. Quality is assessed using RoB 2.0 and AMSTAR-2, and an interactive evidence and gap map is constructed using EPPI-Reviewer 6 and EPPI-Mapper 2.4.5. No quantitative meta-analysis is performed; the map is intended to provide an overview of the evidence landscape for clinical decision-making and future research.
