• Systematic Review: Strategies for Using Exercise Therapy To Improve Outcomes in Chronic Low Back Pain (2005, background): “On the basis of current literature on minimal clinically important differences, we considered a 20-point (out of 100 points) improvement in pain (5) and a 10-point (out of 100 points) improvement in functioning outcomes (6) to be clinically important.”
