Are gabapentinoids effective in decreasing neuropathic pain and other secondary outcomes after spinal cord injury : a meta-analysis?
Gabapentin and pregabalin appear useful for treating pain and other secondary conditions after SCI. Effectiveness comparative to other analgesics has not been studied. Patients need to be monitored closely for side effects.
Cupping therapy as an ancient alternative treatment is still popular with a large number of devoted practitioners. Although there is the potential for injury during the application of this therapy, this is mostly preventable. Standardized training for health care professionals and increased the awareness among the public about the proper methods to administer this therapy to avoid adverse effects is important.
