Meta AnalysisWhich Interventions Enhance Pain Self-efficacy in People With Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain? A Systematic Review With Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials, Including Over 12 000 Participants.
To find out which interventions enhance pain self-efficacy in people with chronic musculoskeletal pain and to evaluate the reporting of interventions designed to enhance pain self-efficacy. ⋯ There was low-quality evidence of a small effect of multicomponent exercise and psychological interventions improving pain self-efficacy in people with chronic musculoskeletal pain. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(8):418-430. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.9319.

Meta AnalysisEffectiveness of Weight-Loss Interventions for Reducing Pain and Disability in People With Common Musculoskeletal Disorders: A Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis.
To assess the effectiveness of weight-loss interventions on pain and disability in people with knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA) and spinal pain. ⋯ Weight-loss interventions may provide small to moderate improvements in pain and disability for OA compared to minimal care. There was limited and inconclusive evidence for weight-loss interventions targeting spinal pain. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(6):319-333. Epub 9 Apr 2020. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.9041.

Meta AnalysisTo Flex or Not to Flex? Is There a Relationship Between Lumbar Spine Flexion During Lifting and Low Back Pain? A Systematic Review With Meta-analysis.
To evaluate whether lumbar spine flexion during lifting is a risk factor for low back pain (LBP) onset/persistence or a differentiator of people with and without LBP. ⋯ There was low-quality evidence that greater lumbar spine flexion during lifting was not a risk factor for LBP onset/persistence or a differentiator of people with and without LBP. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(3):121-130. Epub 28 Nov 2019. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.9218.

Meta AnalysisPain Mechanisms in Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review With Meta-analysis of Mechanical Quantitative Sensory Testing Outcomes in People With Nonspecific Low Back Pain.
Mechanical quantitative sensory testing (QST) assesses sensory functioning and detects functional changes in (central) nociceptive processing. It has been hypothesized that these functional changes might be apparent in people with nonspecific low back pain (LBP), although the results are mixed. ⋯ Therapy, level 3a.

Meta AnalysisThe Effects of Needling Therapies on Muscle Force Production: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Needling has been shown to decrease pain in the short term; however, its effects on muscle force production are unclear. ⋯ Therapy, level 1a. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2019;49(3):154-170. Epub 30 Nov 2018. doi:10.2519/jospt.2019.8270.
