Effects of Multidisciplinary Biopsychosocial Rehabilitation on Short-Term Pain and Disability in Chronic Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review with Network Meta-Analysis
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsThis review was very difficult to find a final conclusion because the studies were different. It is difficult to watch a difference between the different therapy ways.
Therefore the study design was not well structurated, it was a high heterogeneity, undocumented use of pain medications might have influenced the results of the primary studies, the study idea is relevant in the daily practice,
The methods are structured , the references well choosen, and discussion too short

Reviewer 2 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsThe article is very interesting and contributive. However, it is need to revise.
1- In search strategy mention to "Biofeedback", in the event that "Biofeedback" is MESH TERM. if you mean "Biofeedback, Psychology"[Mesh], please correct your search syntax.
2- This is also true for "Patient Education as Topic"[Mesh] instead of "Patient Education".
3- In my opinion, its better use a table for present of search strategies.
4- Why you haven't use of gray literature?
5- It is appropriate to mention the following items in sup-table1:
- Duration of follow-up
- Exact type of intervention
- Description of setting
6- Have the individual studies mentioned hiding the random allocation list and its solutions?
7- Have the individual studies mentioned blindness?
8-Was there a relationship between the methodological quality (risk bias) of the primary studies and their outcome on the effect size scale? It would have been better to analyze this result.
9-It is better to mention the risk of bias of primary studies in the discussion or conclusion.
Wishing your team the best of success
