Contributions of authors

WH and PK developed and ran the search. BW and WH selected which studies to include. BW, NÜ, PW and WH extracted data from studies. WH entered data into Review Manager 5 and carried out the analysis. Data entry was checked by BW, NÜ and PW. All authors interpreted the analysis. WH drafted the final review update.

Serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) for fibromyalgia syndrome

Review

Winfried Häuser, Gerard Urrútia, Sera Tort, Nurcan Üçeyler, Brian Walitt

https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD010292

Differences between protocol and review

For the earlier review, the protocol 'Antidepressants and centrally active agents for fibromyalgia syndrome' was split into several systematic reviews (Nishishinya 2006). We added an additional comparison, namely cognitive disturbances. We used a random‐effects model for all analysis irrespective of the amount of heterogeneity. We used the GRADE approach for the grading of the quality of the body of evidence.

For this update in 2017, we made the following minor changes:

Background

  • We considered recent literature.

Methods/Criteria for considering studies for this review

  • We excluded mirtazapine from searches and analysis, because mirtazapine has been classified to another class of antidepressants from serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), namely noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressants (NaSSAs).

  • We defined more precisely the criteria of including and excluding studies.

  • We included studies with an active drug as comparator.

  • We substituted 'pain intensity' with 'patient global impression much or very much improved' as a primary outcome. We reduced the number of primary outcomes from seven to four. Self‐reported sleep problems, self‐reported health‐related quality of life and self‐reported fatigue were changed from primary to secondary outcomes. We added number of participants dropping out due to lack of efficacy, and specific adverse events frequently associated with the use of SNRIs (nausea, somnolence, insomnia), as secondary outcomes with regard to the Cochrane Pain, Palliative and Supportive Care template for reviews in fibromyalgia.

  • We defined outcomes for studies with an enriched enrolment randomized withdrawal design.

  • We included the World Health Organization (WHO) International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) in our search.

Methods/Measures of treatment effect

  • We changed from risk ratio to risk difference for categorical variables, because this type of effect size is more meaningful for clinicians.

Methods/Assessment of risk of bias in included studies

  • We deleted 'external validity' as a risk of bias and included this item in GRADE assessment within 'indirectness of evidence'.

  • We changed the criteria of 'blinding of the outcome assessment' from blinding of the statistician to blinding of the participants for participant‐reported outcomes and to blinding of the outcome assessor for outcomes of safety.

  • We extended the 'Risk of bias' assessment by two items (selection and sample size bias).

  • We changed the methods of screening for publication bias.

  • We predefined the criteria for downgrading the quality of evidence for each GRADE item.

Analyses

  • We deleted the calculation of intra‐group effect sizes (baseline and final treatment) of true drug and placebo on pain and health‐related quality of life.

  • We added a comparison of SNRIs versus placebo in studies with a randomized withdrawal design.

  • We added a comparison of SNRIs versus other active drugs.

Discussion

  • We rearranged the sections according to MECIR standards.

Characteristics of included studies

  • We added details of the declaration of conflicts of interest and funding.

Notes

The protocol 'Antidepressants and centrally active agents for fibromyalgia syndrome' published in 2006 (Nishishinya 2006) has been split into several systematic reviews that will be/have been published as:

  • Anticonvulsants for fibromyalgia syndrome (Üceyler 2017 b);

  • Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) for fibromyalgia syndrome (Tort 2012);

  • Non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for fibromyalgia (Derry 2017);

  • Analgesics and opioid agents for fibromyalgia syndrome;

  • Sedatives and hypnotic agents for fibromyalgia syndrome;

  • Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) for fibromyalgia syndrome (Walitt 2015);

  • Serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) for fibromyalgia syndrome (Häuser 2013 a)

  • Tricyclic agents for fibromyalgia syndrome.

Assessed for updating in 2020

A restricted search in January 2020 did not identify any potentially relevant studies likely to change the conclusions. Therefore, this review has now been stabilised following discussion with the authors and editors. The review will be re‐assessed for updating in three years. If appropriate, we will update the review before this date if new evidence likely to change the conclusions is published, or if standards change substantially which necessitate major revisions.

El uso y la enseñanza del modelo PICO están muy extendidos en el ámbito de la atención sanitaria basada en la evidencia para formular preguntas y estrategias de búsqueda y para caracterizar estudios o metanálisis clínicos. PICO son las siglas en inglés de cuatro posibles componentes de una pregunta de investigación: paciente, población o problema; intervención; comparación; desenlace (outcome).

*The basis for the assumed risk (e.g. the median control group risk across studies) is provided in footnotes. The corresponding risk (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect.
Moderate quality: we are moderately confident in the effect estimate; the true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different.
Low quality: our confidence in the effect estimate is limited; the true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect.
Very low quality: we have very little confidence in the effect estimate; the true effect is likely to be substantially different from the estimate of effect.
