The majority of LBP guidelines made CAM recommendations. The quality of CAM recommendations is significantly lower than overall recommendations across all domains with the exception of scope and purpose and editorial independence. This difference highlights the need for CAM recommendation quality improvement. Future research should identify CAM therapies which are supported by sufficient evidence to serve as the basis for guideline development.
