The Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus databases were searched from their inception to April 25, 2025. Two authors independently selected studies, extracted data, and assessed quality, with a third author ensuring accuracy. The methodological quality of the included trials was evaluated using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) checklist. Meta\u2010analyses were conducted in Comprehensive Meta\u2010Analysis (version 3.0), calculating pooled effect sizes as Hedges\u2019\n                      <jats:italic>g<\/jats:italic>\n                      with 95% CIs using a random\u2010effects model due to substantial heterogeneity (I\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      = 92.88%).
