Cognitive behavioural interventions led by a physiotherapist in chronic non-specific low back pain: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The effectiveness of physiotherapist-led Cognitive Behavioural Interventions (CBI) with or without physiotherapy is still unclear.

Objective: This systematic review (PROSPERO registration number CRD42022321073) aims to determine the effectiveness of physiotherapist-led CBI with or without physiotherapy in comparison to physiotherapy alone on quality of life, disabilities and catastrophization.

Methods: MEDLINE, Web of Science, Science Direct, and PEDro were searched for randomized controlled trials that investigate the use of CBI versus conventional physiotherapy in chronic NSLBP.
