This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the effectiveness of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) interventions on PA and SB levels in people with persistent musculoskeletal pain. We explored the effectiveness of behavior change techniques (BCTs), the use of behavior change theory and non-PA/SB outcomes. Randomized controlled trials of PA or SB interventions for people with persistent musculoskeletal pain were eligible. ⋯ PROSPERO registration: CRD42020180260. PERSPECTIVE: This review investigated the effects of physical activity and sedentary behavior interventions on physical activity and sedentary behavior levels in people with persistent musculoskeletal pain. Current evidence shows a modest benefit for interventions on physical activity post-intervention but not at longer-term follow-up or on sedentary behavior at any time-point, however quality of evidence is low to very low.
