J Clin Med . 2024 Mar 13;13(6):1639.Ten randomized controlled trials including 828 patients with non-specific chronic low back pain were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis comparing whole-body vibration exercise (WBVE) vs. conventional treatments. Pooled outcomes of interest included pain, disability, balance, proprioception, functional performance, and quality of life. Pooled results demonstrated significant improvements in pain, disability, balance, and proprioception, but not in functional performance or quality of life. The main findings suggest that WBVE can be an effective component in managing non-specific chronic low back pain.
