eHealth Interventions for Managing Spine Pain—Benefits for Pain, Quality of Life, Catastrophizing and Fear Avoidance Beliefs: An Overview of Systematic Reviews With Meta-analysis
(American Physical Therapy Association, 2024) Olga Villar-Alises; Cristina García‐Muñoz; Javier Matias-Soto; Javier Martínez-Calderón
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the effectiveness of eHealth interventions for improving pain, physical disability, psychological factors, and the quality of life for people with spine pain. DESIGN: Overview of systematic reviews. LITERATURE SEARCH: CINAHL, Embase, PubMed, and SPORTDiscus e-databases were searched. STUDY SELECTION CRITERIA: Systematic reviews with meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials evaluating any type of eHealth were included. DATA SYNTHESIS: AMSTAR 2 was used to assess the methodological quality of included reviews. The degree of overlap between reviews was calculated. RESULTS: Sixteen systematic reviews were included. Of them, 13 reviews were exclusively focused on back pain or low back pain. Exercise and psychological interventions were the primary contents of eHealth interventions. In general, eHealth interventions based on physical exercise may improve the quality of life of people with low back pain. eHealth interventions based on cognitive behavioral therapy may reduce pain catastrophizing and fear-avoidance beliefs for physical activity for people with low back pain. eHealth interventions based on multidisciplinary approaches including physical exercise may reduce low back pain. Few systematic reviews used the GRADE system to evaluate the certainty of evidence, and few specified the content of eHealth interventions. CONCLUSION: eHealth interventions may improve the quality of life, pain catastrophizing, and fear-avoidance beliefs for people with low back pain. It is unclear, based on available systematic reviews, how clinicians should deliver eHealth interventions for people with spine pain (eg, neck pain or low back pain).

(Informa, 2024) Javier Martínez-Calderón; María Jesús Casuso-Holgado; Javier Matias-Soto; Saúl Pineda-Escobar; Olga Villar-Alises; Cristina García‐Muñoz
Overall, exercise and mind-body exercise may be ineffective in improving meta-analyzed outcomes. However, the certainty of evidence ranged from low to very low and the body of knowledge in this field needs to be increased to reach robust conclusions.
THE PREVALENCE OF MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN IN AFRICA: AN OVERVIEW OF SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS WITH META-ANALYSIS INCLUDING MORE THAN 100 DISTINCT PRIMARY STUDIES
(2024) Javier Martínez-Calderón; Marta Infante-Cano; Javier Matias-Soto; Cristina García‐Muñoz
Abstract Objective This overview of systematic reviews aimed to summarize the point, annual, and lifetime prevalence of musculoskeletal pain in African countries. Methods The CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, PubMed were searched until October 6, 2023. Systematic reviews with meta-analyses evaluating the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain were included. The quality of reviews was assessed with AMSTAR 2 and the overlap among reviews was calculated. Results Six reviews were included. The pooled point prevalence rate of low back pain was 39%. The pooled annual prevalence rates of low back pain ranged from 54.05% to 64.07% among meta-analyses. The pooled annual prevalence rates of upper back pain, elbow pain, wrist and/or hand pain, knee and/or leg pain, foot and/or ankle pain, and hip and/or thigh pain were 27.1%, 19.7%, 24.2%, 25.0%, 20.2%, and 15.5%, respectively. The pooled lifetime prevalence rate of low back pain was 47%. A slight overlap was found among low back pain reviews. Ethiopia, Nigeria, and South Africa were mainly studied in low back pain. The rest of types of musculoskeletal pain were only studied in Ethiopia. Discussion The prevalence of musculoskeletal pain is high. More than 100 primary studies have been meta-analyzed on this topic, underlying the high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain in African countries. Important methodological concerns were detected and discussed that can help researchers to improve and guide the future agenda in this field. Funding None.
