Efficacy and safety of Meriva®, a curcumin-phosphatidylcholine complex, during extended administration in osteoarthritis patients.

TL;DR: Significant improvements of both the clinical and biochemical end points were observed for Meriva compared to the control group, which suggests that Meriva is worth considering for the long-term complementary management of osteoarthritis.

Dry needling: a literature review with implications for clinical practice guidelines.

TL;DR: The insertion of dry needles into asymptomatic body areas proximal and/or distal to the primary source of pain is supported by the myofascial pain syndrome literature, and physical therapists should not ignore the findings of the Western or biomedical ‘acupuncture’ literature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Strength training alone, exercise therapy alone, and exercise therapy with passive manual mobilisation each reduce pain and disability in people with knee osteoarthritis: a systematic review.

TL;DR: Exercise therapy plus manual mobilisation showed a moderate effect size on pain compared to the small effect sizes for strength training or exercise therapy alone, and physiotherapists or manual therapists might consider adding manual mobilisations to optimise supervised active exercise programs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Management of osteoarthritis of the knee

TL;DR: This review will outline evidence for management and emphasise the importance of a patient centred multidisciplinary approach, conservative non-drug interventions, judicious use of drugs, and appropriate surgical referral for osteoarthritis of the knee.

Clinical development of TRPV1 antagonists: targeting a pivotal point in the pain pathway

TL;DR: Recent progress and challenges in the field in this highly competitive area of drug discovery are discussed and one of the first novel mechanisms of action for the treatment for pain for many years may be offered.

Measuring inconsistency in meta-analyses

TL;DR: A new quantity is developed, I 2, which the authors believe gives a better measure of the consistency between trials in a meta-analysis, which is susceptible to the number of trials included in the meta- analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test

TL;DR: Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.

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

Grading quality of evidence and strength of recommendations.

TL;DR: A system for grading the quality of evidence and the strength of recommendations that can be applied across a wide range of interventions and contexts is developed, and a summary of the approach from the perspective of a guideline user is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Primary, Secondary, and Meta-Analysis of Research

TL;DR: The meta-analysis of research as discussed by the authors is an important feature of the research and evaluation enterprise, and it has been widely used in the field of computer science and computer engineering, especially in the context of education.
