Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

A systematic review summarizes the results of studies on the efficacy of myorelaxants (tolperisone, tizanidine, thiocolchicoside or baclofen) in the treatment of acute nonspecific low back pain published up to Dec. 2017. The authors conclude that there are enough data to confirm the efficacy of myorelaxants in treatment of nonspecific low back pain, myorelaxants are recommended as monotherapy or in combination with analgesics or NSAID, the nonsedative drugs tolperisone or thiocolchicoside should be preferred.
