Contributions of authors

For the original review, SD and RL carried out searches for studies, data extraction and analyses. RAM was involved with analysis and HJM acted as arbitrator. All authors were involved with writing the review. For this update, SD and TT searched for studies and carried out data extraction; RAM checked data extraction. SD and RAM carried out analyses and wrote the initial draft review. All authors were involved with writing the full review.

Declarations of interest

RAM and SD have received research support from charities, government and industry sources at various times. RAM has consulted for various pharmaceutical companies and has received lecture fees from pharmaceutical companies related to analgesics and other healthcare interventions. TT is a NICE employee and has no conflict of interests. AR has provided consultancy advice through Imperial College Consultants for a number of companies engaged in neuropathic pain drug development including NeuroGSX and Astellas who manufacturer the capsaicin 8% patch. In the last 12 months he has provided advice for Astellas and Spinifex. He receives research funding from Pfizer and owns share options in Spinifex, is a Principal Investigator in the IMI ‐ Europain consortium funded by a private/public initiative between the European Commission and the pharmaceutical industry. PC has received payments from Pfizer for educational talks and was a member of advisory board for Quetenza and received sponsorship to attend IASP 2010 Montreal.

Differences between protocol and review

For this update we have used recently revised guidelines for reviews in pain, which take into account our better understanding of potential biases both in studies and in the review process (AUREF 2012). Moreover, the very different nature of the treatment with high‐concentration capsaicin has meant that somewhat different outcomes have been used, but those reflect the basic principles outlined in the author reference guide.

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.
