Daoyin Exercise Therapy for Low Back Pain : A Systematic Review

Objectives: To determine the evidence supporting the effectiveness and safety of Daoyin exercise therapy for treating low back pain. Methods: We searched 11 electronic databases(Pubmed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CAJ, KISTI, KISS, NDSL, KMBASE, RISS, and DBpia) and two related journals,till April 2018 for randomized controlled trials(RCTs) related to testDaoyin exercise therapy for low back pain. Results: The inclusion criteria were fulfilled by eight RCTs. The meta-analysis of the eight studies showed positive results when Daoyin exercise therapy was used for treating low back pain. Conclusions: Based on the meta-analysis, we found indications for the favorable impact of Daoyin exercise therapy on the treatment of low back pain. However, our systematic review has limited evidence to support this theory because of the low quality of original articles. Hence, additional well-designed RCTs should be encouraged.
