This short commentary aimed to describe the evidence and research agenda on the prevention and curative effects for low back pain in caregivers in nursing home. Lumber support has strong evidence of effects but it is not unclear about the timing of the use. Transfer technique, stress management, exercise, cognitive behavioral theory, and multidimension were poor evidence, but the re-inspections of effects by appropriate study design are necessary. It is essential to scientifically explain the mechanism of effect at the same time. Researchers should use the appropriate checklist (e.g. CONSORT 2010) for research design and intervention method, which would lead to improvement in the quality of the study, and would contribute to the accumulation of evidence.
