There was moderate certainty evidence that individual patient education was more effective than placebo education for pain at medium term (mean difference [MD], \u22120.79; 95% confidence interval [CI]: \u22121.52, \u22120.07) and physical function at short term (standardized mean difference [SMD], \u22120.25; 95% CI: \u22120.47, \u22120.02) and medium term (SMD, \u22120.26; 95% CI: \u22120.48, \u22120.04), but with no clinically relevant effects. There was low-to-moderate certainty evidence that individual patient education was superior to noneducational interventions on short-term quality of life (MD, \u221212.00; 95% CI: \u221220.05, \u22123.95) and medium-term sick leave (odds ratio = 0.32; 95% CI: 0.11, 0.88). We found no clinically relevant between-group effects for any other comparison (low-to-high certainty of evidence) at any follow-up. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p> One or 2 hours of individual patient education probably makes little to no difference in pain and functional outcomes compared with placebo for patients with acute and\/or subacute LBP. Considering its effects on other outcomes (eg, reassurance) and patients' desire for information about their condition, it is reasonable to retain patient education as part of a first-line approach when managing acute and subacute LBP.
