PEDro’s Top 25 Trials

To mark this important milestone, we also want to identify 5 of the most important randomised controlled trials in physiotherapy published in the years 2019-2024.

High-quality randomised controlled trials are essential for physiotherapy practice and teaching. In 2014 we commemorated PEDro’s 15th birthday by identifying the top 15 high quality physiotherapy trials. We added an additional 5 trials in 2019. These are ground-breaking trials that changed the way people with a variety of conditions are treated. Some of the trials demonstrated breakthroughs, some represented a paradigm shift, and all of them marked important milestones in the evolution of physiotherapy treatment. Interviews with the lead authors of the top 20 trials are available in the PEDro top 20 trials page.

You can view the trials added to PEDro’s Top 25 Trials here.
