Background:
Several studies have evaluated physiotherapy treatment and/or post-operative care for chronic lumbar radicular pain (CLRP). The extent, range, and nature of research addressing self-management for CLRP is not clear. This scoping review explores existing research evaluating self-management interventions for CLRP.
Methods:
A methodology framework based on Arksey & O'Malley 2005 was followed.
Data Sources:
Four databases were searched from inception to September 2024.
Selection Criteria:
We included studies evaluating self-management interventions for adults with CLRP (with or without a control group) and reporting an outcome relevant to self-management. We excluded studies that did not evaluate a self-management intervention, or did not involve a CLRP population.
Results:
A total of 7,998 titles and abstracts were screened. Although six full text articles were retained for review, none meet inclusion criteria during full text screening.
Conclusions:
This systematic scoping review highlights a lack of research addressing self-management interventions for CLRP.
