Contributions of authors

RC and SD were involved with searching, data extraction, quality scoring, analysis, and writing for the original review. RAM was involved with analysis and writing. HJM acted as arbitrator and was involved with writing.

SD ran searches for the updates, and both SD and RAM carried out data extraction and updated the analyses and text.

Declarations of interest

SD and RAM have received research support from charities, government and industry at various times, but none related to this review. RAM has consulted for, and received lecture fees from, various pharmaceutical companies related to analgesics and other healthcare interventions in the last five years. None relate to this review.

Acknowledgements

The Oxford Pain Relief Trust supported both updates. The NHS Cochrane Collaboration Programme Grant Scheme supported the original review.

Jodie Barden and Jayne Rees developed the protocol and ran preliminary searches for the first version of this review, and Henry McQuay was an author.

Differences between protocol and review

Since the protocol was published, 'Risk of bias' assessment and 'Summary of findings' tables have been introduced into Cochrane reviews. We have included them in this update.

Population

Comparison
Outcome

The PICO model is widely used and taught in evidence-based health care as a strategy for formulating questions and search strategies and for characterizing clinical studies or meta-analyses. PICO stands for four different potential components of a clinical question: Patient, Population or Problem; Intervention; Comparison; Outcome.

See more on using PICO in the Cochrane Handbook.

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.
Moderate quality: Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.
Low quality: Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.
Very low quality: We are very uncertain about the estimate.
