Table 1. Methodological quality assessment criteria (van Tulder 2003)

1. Was the method of randomisation adequate? A random (unpredictable) assignment sequence. Examples of adequate methods are computer generated random number table and use of sealed opaque envelopes. Methods of allocation using date of birth, date of admission, hospital numbers, or alternation should not be regarded as appropriate.

2. Was the treatment allocation concealed? Assignment generated by an independent person not responsible for determining the eligibility of the patients. This person has no information about the persons included in the trial and has no influence on the assignment sequence or on the decision about eligibility of the patient.

3. Were the groups similar at baseline regarding the most important prognostic indicators? In order to receive a "yes," groups have to be similar at baseline regarding demographic factors, duration and severity of complaints, percentage of patients with neurologic symptoms, and value of main outcome measure(s).

4. Was the outcome assessor blinded to the intervention? Was the blinding evaluated and adequate? If only self‐reported (by the patients) outcome measures are used, and the patients have not been blinded, and no outcomes are measured by an observer, then score "negative"; if the patients have been successfully blinded, it is scored "positive".

5. Was the patient blinded to the intervention? The review author determines if enough information about the blinding is given in order to score a "yes."

6. Was the care provider blinded to the intervention? The review author determines if enough information about the blinding is given in order to score a "yes."

7. Were co‐interventions avoided or similar? Co‐interventions should either be avoided in the trial design or be similar between the index and control groups.

8. Was the compliance acceptable in all groups? The review author determines if the compliance to the interventions is acceptable, based on the reported intensity, duration, number and frequency of sessions for both the index intervention and control intervention(s).

9. Was the intervention drop‐out rate described and acceptable? If the percentage of withdrawals and drop‐outs during the intervention period does not exceed 20% and does not lead to substantial bias a "yes" is scored.

10. Was the follow‐up drop‐out rate described and acceptable? If the percentage of withdrawals and drop‐outs does not exceed 20% for follow‐ups and does not lead to substantial bias a "yes" is scored.

11. Did the analysis include an intention‐to‐treat analysis? All randomized patients are reported/analyzed in the group they were allocated to by randomization for the most important moments of effect measurement (minus missing values) irrespective of noncompliance and co‐interventions.
