Effectiveness of Lumbar Segmental Stabilization Exercises in Managing Disability and Pain Intensity Among Patients With Lumbar Spondylolysis and Spondylolisthesis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.

Five randomized controlled trials, including 198 patients with lumbar spondylolysis or spondylolisthesis, were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis comparing LSSE to various exercise interventions. Pooled outcomes of interest included disability improvement (primary outcome) and pain intensity reduction (secondary outcome). The meta-analysis revealed a trend toward disability improvement in the LSSE group, which became significant when LSSE was used as a standalone treatment. However, LSSE did not significantly reduce pain intensity. These findings suggest that LSSE may be beneficial for improving functional disability in patients with lumbar spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis, particularly when used alone, but it does not significantly reduce pain.
