Abstract

Background

Chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is an urgent global public health concern. Pain education (PE) is an intervention used in the management of MSK pain. Traditionally delivered in-person, PE can be challenging for those in remote areas. Telerehabilitation has emerged as a viable alternative for providing pain management support. Despite the individual benefits of PE and telerehabilitation, no systematic review has evaluated the impact of these interventions combined on chronic MSK pain.

Objective

To systematically review the literature on the effects of pain education delivered through telerehabilitation on pain and disability in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Methods

This systematic review protocol will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P) statement and is registered with the Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). We will systematically search the MEDLINE, PEDro, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scopus, Web of Science and EMBASE databases from their inception to present time. We will include only randomized controlled trials involving adults with chronic MSK pain, that received PE delivered through telerehabilitation. The primary outcomes will be pain and/or disability, while secondary outcomes will assess the impact of pain on daily living, workability and mental health. Two authors independently will select studies, rate risk of bias, extract data, and judge the overall certainty of evidence using Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE). A structured narrative synthesis will be used for data analysis. When possible, quantitative findings will be pooled and meta-analyses will be performed.

Discussion

This review will comprehensively examine existing literature to identify research gaps and provide evidence to help clinicians make informed, evidence-based decisions for managing chronic musculoskeletal pain.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine is a peer-reviewed journal that provides for the publication of high quality research articles and review papers that are as broad as the many disciplines that influence and underpin the principles and practice of osteopathic medicine. Particular emphasis is given to basic science research, clinical epidemiology and health social science in relation to osteopathy and neuromusculoskeletal medicine. The Editorial Board encourages submission of articles based on both quantitative and qualitative research designs. The Editorial Board also aims to provide a forum for discourse and debate on any aspect of osteopathy and neuromusculoskeletal medicine with the aim of critically evaluating existing practices in regard to the diagnosis, treatment and management of patients with neuromusculoskeletal disorders and somatic dysfunction. All manuscripts submitted to the IJOM are subject to a blinded review process. The categories currently available for publication include reports of original research, review papers, commentaries and articles related to clinical practice, including case reports. Further details can be found in the IJOM Instructions for Authors. Manuscripts are accepted for publication with the understanding that no substantial part has been, or will be published elsewhere.
