CRD SUMMARY:

This review concluded that a 66% increase in published trials since 2005 showed only a limited improvement in neuropathic pain. A large proportion of patients with neuropathic pain had insufficient pain relief. Limitations of the statistical methods and heterogeneity between studies suggest the results should be viewed with caution when comparing the effectiveness of types of interventions.
