The effect of non-surgical interventions on pain relief and symptom improving in farmers with diseases of the musculoskeletal system or connective tissue: an exploratory systematic review based on randomized controlled trials - The effect of non-surgical interventions in farmers with diseases of the musculoskeletal system or connective tissue: an exploratory systematic review

Four studies (three on low back pain and one on knee osteoarthritis) met all the inclusion criteria. Overall, the risk of bias was high, and meta-analysis could not be performed due to heterogeneity. However, a participatory ergonomic approach, exercise centered on strength training with a transtheoretical model, and/or a combination of both could be included in effective educational programs, at least in the short term, to prevent and/or reduce exacerbation.
