Assessing the quality of reports of randomized clinical trials : is blinding necessary?

TL;DR: An instrument to assess the quality of reports of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in pain research is described and its use to determine the effect of rater blinding on the assessments of quality is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interpreting the Clinical Importance of Treatment Outcomes in Chronic Pain Clinical Trials: IMMPACT Recommendations

TL;DR: A consensus meeting was convened by the Initiative on Methods, Measurement, and Pain Assessment in Clinical Trials (IMMPACT) to provide recommendations for interpreting clinical importance of treatment outcomes in clinical trials of the efficacy and effectiveness of chronic pain treatments as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

The visual analogue pain intensity scale: what is moderate pain in millimetres?

TL;DR: The results indicate that if a patient records a baseline VAS score in excess of 30 mm they would probably have recorded at least moderate pain on a 4‐point categorical scale.
Journal ArticleDOI

Algorithm for neuropathic pain treatment:: an evidence based proposal.

TL;DR: NNT and NNH are currently the best way to assess relative efficacy and safety, but the need for dichotomous data, which may have to be estimated retrospectively for old trials, and the methodological complexity of pooling data from small cross‐over and large parallel group trials, remain as limitations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Opioids in chronic non-cancer pain: systematic review of efficacy and safety

TL;DR: The short‐term efficacy of opioids was good in both neuropathic and musculoskeletal pain conditions, however, only a minority of patients in these studies went on to long‐term management with opioids, and conclusions concerning problems such as tolerance and addiction are not allowed.
