Clinical effectiveness: (many more…)
Landmark: meta analysis for low back pain. The only one so far to prove an effect beyond the placebo.
Who, specifically, is pursuing this kind of meta-analysis regularly? Samueli Institute? U of Michigan? UK, Germany?
–the key here is that we need many more of these smaller trials that are WELL CONDUCTED in order to perfom more of these meta-analyses. Find some promising small scale studies too, such as the one OCOM’s Lee Rubin recently spearheaded
++ see Paterson and Scheid for effectiveness at a different level- proving effect in a qualitative sense.
