- 2005: Cochrane Musculoskeletal (CM)Cochrane Musculoskeletal (CM) is made up of health care professionals, researchers and consumer representatives that belong to Cochrane, an international, non-profit organization that aims to help people make well-informed decisions about health care by preparing, maintaining and promoting reviews on the effects of health care treatments. They produce reliable, up-to-date reviews of interventions for the prevention, treatment or rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders in the form of systematic reviews. CM is also dedicated to making our systematic reviews available to those interested in treatments for musculoskeletal diseases (dissemination). In 1993, they formed a Consumer Group (CMSG), enlisting patient systematic reviewers to join health care professionals and researchers belonging to Cochrane.
