PEDro needs your help! More funding is required to add new content and develop PEDro in 2017. Help us bridge this funding gap by making a donation today or contact us to discuss a partnership.

PEDro is the Physiotherapy Evidence Database. PEDro is a free database of over 38,000 randomised trials, systematic reviews and clinical practice guidelines in physiotherapy. For each trial, review or guideline, PEDro provides the citation details, the abstract and a link to the full text, where possible. All trials on PEDro are independently assessed for quality. These quality ratings are used to quickly guide users to trials that are more likely to be valid and to contain sufficient information to guide clinical practice. PEDro is produced by Musculoskeletal Health Sydney, School of Public Health at the University of Sydney and is hosted by Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA).

There are three search pages for the PEDro database. Two were designed for health professionals (simple search and advanced search). One was designed for consumers of physiotherapy and can be accessed via the Physiotherapy Choices web-site.
