The efficacy of traction for back pain: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

Harte AA (2003) reviewed the efficacy of traction for patients with low back pain (LBP) with or without radiating pain from data sources of MEDLINE, CINAHL, AMED, and the Cochrane Collaboration was conducted for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) 1966 to December 2001.
They concluded evidence for the use of traction in LBP remains inconclusive because of the continued lack of methodologic rigor and the limited application of clinical parameters as used in clinical practice.
