Journal of hand surgery global online(2024)
摘要
PurposeA systematic review to identify treatment approaches for the management of pain following peripheral nerve injury.MethodsA published literature search was performed for the concepts of peripheral nerve injury and pain management with related synonyms. The strategies were created using a combination of controlled vocabulary terms and keywords and were executed in Embase.com, Ovid-Medline All, and Scopus from database inception. Database searches were completed on August 22, 2023.ResultsThe initial search resulted in a total of 1,793 citations. In total, 724 duplicates were removed, leaving 1,069 unique citations remaining for analysis. This review excluded all papers that were not specific to pain following peripheral nerve injury. Case and cohort studies (n < 5) were also excluded. Thirty-two articles on pain management strategies after peripheral nerve injury remained, with years of publication ranging from 1981 to 2023. An additional four articles were identified by manual search. Of the 36 articles reviewed, 15 articles reported on the approach to the treatment of pain after a peripheral nerve injury, and the other 22 articles consisted of cohort and case series studies.ConclusionsThere is a lack of literature describing efficacy of various treatment strategies for pain following peripheral nerve injuries. Few studies provide clear, stepwise clinical guidance for practicing physicians and other health care providers on the treatment of these complicated patients.
