ABSTRACT Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are injuries that affect the musculoskeletal system of the human body. The purpose of this review was to review the literature on musculoskeletal disorders and analyze the results of autogenic inhibition techniques in various musculoskeletal disorders from published articles. Online search engines such as Pub Med, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and PEDro were searched. There were no restrictions on the data applied to review articles. Thirty-four papers were selected for the term autogenic inhibition technique used. Data were tabulated by study type, number of study participants, disease treated, treatment administered, outcome measure, and outcome. This literature review resulted in mixed responses to the results of autogenic inhibition techniques. These contrasting results demonstrate the need for future research. This will help researchers to conduct randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of autonomic suppression and further develop protocols to improve the need for better interpretation and evidence-based information.
