摘要: Abstract Objective To describe the pain decrease considered as clinically relevant when designing a trial and reporting its results. Methods A systematic review of literature in MEDLINE was conducted to select randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with primary outcome. Data extracted included definition (terms values) difference pain, type studied (acute or chronic), level application (group individual) difference, reference justifying choice value for difference. Study Design Setting Seventy-four were included, only 16 articles justified citation. The values chosen relative varied from 4 40 mm 15% 55% at group 20 50 mm individual level. In seven articles, authors confused Conclusion Our revealed great heterogeneity definition, format, what is RCTs analgesics, standardizations are advisable.
