[Articles] Pharmacotherapy for neuropathic pain in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis

[Articles] Pharmacotherapy for neuropathic pain in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The Lancet Neurology

Our results support a revision of the NeuPSIG recommendations for the pharmacotherapy of neuropathic pain. Inadequate response to drug treatments constitutes a substantial unmet need in patients with neuropathic pain. Modest efficacy, large placebo responses, heterogeneous diagnostic criteria, and poor phenotypic profiling probably account for moderate trial outcomes and should be taken into account in future studies.
