title = "{"}Evidence-Based Interventional Pain Medicine According to Clinical Diagnoses{"}: Update 2018",
abstract = "Introduction Between 2009 and 2011 a series of 26 articles on evidence-based medicine for interventional pain medicine according to clinical diagnoses were published. The high number of publications since the last literature search justified an update. Methods For the update an independent 3rd party, specialized in systematic reviews was asked in 2015 to perform the literature search and summarize relevant evidence using Cochrane and GRADE methodology to compile guidelines on interventional pain management. The guideline committee reviewed the information and made a last update on March 1st 2018. The information from new studies published after the research performed by the 3th party and additional observational studies was used to incorporate other factors such as side effects and complications, invasiveness, costs and ethical factors, which influence the ultimate recommendations. Results For the different indications a total of 113 interventions were evaluated. Twenty-seven (24%) interventions were new compared to the previous guidelines and the recommendation changed for only 3 (2.6%) of the interventions. Discussion This article summarizes the evolution of the quality of evidence and the strength of recommendations for the interventional pain treatment options for 28 clinical pain diagnoses.",

note = "Funding Information: The update of the guidelines ?Evidence-based interventional pain management, based on clinical diagnoses? is an initiative of the Dutch Association of Anesthesiologists. They assembled the resources for the payment of the independent third party (Jos Kleijnen Ltd), who performed the literature search and the assessment of the quality of the evidence. Further support was obtained from the World Institute of Pain, Benelux section, and the Flemish Association for Anesthesiologic Pain Management. The members and board members of those associations reviewed the manuscripts, the evidence ratings, and the recommendations, and provided comment. In parallel, our colleagues produced an illustrated book with the description of the different procedures. Agnes Stogicza, Andrea Trescot, Andr? Mansano, Peter Staats, Graig Hartrick, and Milan Stojanovic provided valuable comments on the guidelines. The editorial board expresses their extensive gratitude to Nicole Van den Hecke for all the supportive and coordinating work she contributed to this project. Without her, this project would not have been possible. Publisher Copyright: {\textcopyright} 2019 The Authors.
