Prescription of Controlled Substances: Benefits and Risks
TL;DR: One of the single most difficult challenges for any prescriber is to distinguish between the legitimate prescription of controlled substances versus the prescription potentially used for illegitimate purposes; to discern the difference prescribers need to understand the signs, symptoms, and treatment of acute and chronic pain as well as the signs and symptoms of patients using controlled substances for non-legitimate purposes.

Knee osteoarthritis diagnosis, treatment and associated factors of progression: part II
TL;DR: Both nonpharmalogical as well as pharmacological modalities of treatment are useful in managing the symptoms of knee osteoarthritis and surgery should be considered only in patients who do not respond to medical therapy.

Effectiveness of thermal and athermal short-wave diathermy for the management of knee osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
TL;DR: This meta-analysis found small, significant effects on pain and muscle performance only when SWD evoked a local thermal sensation, however, the variability in the treatment protocols makes it difficult to draw definitive conclusions about the effectiveness of SWD treatment.

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.

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.

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.
