Systematic reviews
Systematic reviews provide an overview of the evidence from higher quality studies on a specific research question. IWH has developed in-house expertise in systematic reviews of work-health research. The Cochrane Back Review Group, based at IWH, conducts systematic reviews of clinical research on back and neck pain.
