Nonpharmacologic therapies for low back pain: a systematic review for an American College of Physicians clinical practice guideline.
The researchers systematically reviewed the current evidence on nonpharmacologic therapies for acute or chronic nonradicular or radicular low back pain. They found that several nonpharmacologic therapies for primarily chronic low back pain are associated with small to moderate, usually short-term effects on pain; findings include new evidence on mind-body interventions.

Systemic pharmacologic therapies for low back pain: a systematic review for an American College of Physicians clinical practice guideline.
The authors reviewed the current evidence on systemic pharmacologic therapies for acute or chronic nonradicular or radicular low back pain. They found that several systemic medications for low back pain are associated with small to moderate, primarily short-term effects on pain. New evidence suggests that acetaminophen is ineffective for acute low back pain, and duloxetine is associated with modest effects for chronic low back pain.
