QuickDecks
QuickDecks are sets of slides summarizing the methods and results of our reviews published in the Cochrane Library. CBN has provided these summary slides as a snapshot of evidence on various treatment and prevention measures for back and neck pain. We hope this new tool will be useful to researchers and clinicians preparing presentations on evidence for interventions in the management of back and neck pain care.
QuickDecks are an original work by Cochrane Back and Neck. They are free to view, download, and share in presentations, classrooms or to further research, but the contents must not be modified and must not be used for commercial purposes
