The Efficiency of Respiratory Exercises in Rehabilitation of Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
J Sport Rehabil . 2024 Feb 20;33(3):189-200.This systematic review and meta-analysis included 14 randomized controlled trials involving 698 patients with low back pain. The studies compared the effects of respiratory exercises to routine lower back pain treatments. Pooled outcomes of interest included pain intensity and physical disability. The results showed that respiratory exercises significantly reduced pain intensity (p < .00001) and improved physical disability (p < .00001). The main findings suggest that respiratory exercises are an effective component of low back pain management, with the most effective protocol being 30 to 50 minutes, 3 to 5 times per week, for more than 4 weeks.
