This article aims to provide an overview of economic evaluations of musculoskeletal physiotherapy interventions. The systematic review will identify relevant literature and extract information on publication year, country of origin, analysis type, and musculoskeletal condition. The findings of this review will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals, conferences, and social media. No ethical approval is required as the study does not involve human participants.
Introduction Several economic evaluations of musculoskeletal physiotherapy have been published in the literature. We aim to provide an overview of these existing economic evaluations. This overview will be useful for healthcare funders in identifying studies matching their context. In addition, research gaps as well as literature extensive enough to be combined in a meta-analysis will be identified. This will support researchers in planning relevant research projects. Methods and analyses We will search in PubMed, EconLit and NHS-EED for relevant literature. Full economic evaluations of musculoskeletal physiotherapy interventions will be included, regardless of type, and economic evaluation perspective. Initial searches were performed on 7th October 2021. Study selection, data extraction and the quality evaluation will be conducted initially by two independent researchers. If their agreement is sufficient, one reviewer will proceed with the respected process. From the included studies, we will extract information on the publication year, the country of origin, the type of economical evaluation analyses and the specific musculoskeletal condition. An overview will be provided, concerning the distributions of the included studies regarding the extracted information. Furthermore, an evaluation of the individual study quality will be offered. Ethics and dissemination No ethical approval will be required for this systematic review, since no human participants are involved. We aim to distribute the findings of this review in a peer-reviewed journal, on national and international conferences, as well as via social media.
