Electrical physical modalities for chronic primary pain</h2><div id="niceng193er8.s1.1"><h3>1.1. Review question: What is the clinical and cost effectiveness of electrical physical modalities for the management of chronic primary pain?</h3></div><div id="niceng193er8.s1.2"><h3>1.2. Introduction</h3><p>Electrical physical modalities of treatment have been used therapeutically for many centuries. Reports of their use have been found in ancient writings, and include techniques still in use today, such as use of heat, cold and electricity.</p><p>Contemporary electrical physical modalities are diverse and include treatments regularly used for pain management and self-management. The list below is not exhaustive:
<ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Thermal modalities, often in the form of reusable hot or cold packs applied to the skin.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Therapeutic ultrasound, using a probe that generates ultrasonic waves from electricity and delivers them into the tissues.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Interferential therapy, using medium frequency electrical currents delivered with multiple electrodes over the affected areas.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Pulsed Shortwave Diathermy, using high frequency electromagnetic energy delivered using electrical coils, to heat the tissues.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Low level laser therapy (LLLT), involving the non-invasive application of a single wavelength of light to the skin over the injured area using a probe.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES), using superficial electrodes to target motor fibres.</div></li></ul></p><p>For many of these techniques, a mechanism of action is currently unclear. Mechanisms may include activation of pain gate mechanisms, stimulation of cellular activity related to healing and repair, delivery of mechanical forces to alter the physical properties of tissues, alteration of blood flow and reduction of inflammation.</p><p>While many of these interventions are popular choices for the self-management of painful conditions, their role in clinical practice is much less clear. This evidence review therefore intends to explore the effectiveness of these interventions for chronic primary pain.</p></div><div id="niceng193er8.s1.3"><h3>1.3.

The committee&#x02019;s discussion of the evidence</h3><div id="niceng193er8.s1.7.1"><h4>1.7.1. Interpreting the evidence</h4><div id="niceng193er8.s1.7.1.1"><h5>1.7.1.1. The outcomes that matter most</h5><p>The committee considered health-related quality of life, pain reduction, physical function, psychological distress, pain interference and pain self-efficacy to be critical outcomes for decision-making. Use of healthcare services, sleep and discontinuation were also considered to be important outcomes. The critical and important outcomes agreed by the committee were adapted by consensus from relevant core outcome sets registered under the Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET) Initiative. This included the Initiative on Methods, Measurement, and Pain Assessment in Clinical Trials (IMMPACT) recommendations.</p><p>Evidence was identified for all critical outcomes, other than pain interference and pain self-efficacy. Evidence for important outcomes was limited; no evidence was identified for sleep or use of healthcare services, and evidence for discontinuation was limited.</p></div><div id="niceng193er8.s1.7.1.2"><h5>1.7.1.2. The quality of the evidence</h5><p>Evidence from 34 randomised controlled trials was identified for 8 different comparisons. The comparison with the most evidence was laser therapy versus sham laser therapy. No head-to-head comparisons of different electrical therapies were identified and no evidence was identified for interferential therapy. There was little evidence comparing interventions to usual care.</p><p>The majority of the evidence was of low to very low quality. The main reasons for downgrading were risk of bias, inconsistency and imprecision. A large number of studies had small sample sizes, which increased the uncertainty around the point estimates. The evidence for many outcomes included studies that looked at heterogeneous populations, and used different electrical parameters (such as wavelength and voltage) and intervention durations. Where there was heterogeneity in the evidence for an outcome, pre-specified subgroup analyses did not explain the variation in effect sizes. As a result, many outcomes were downgraded for inconsistency.</p><p>The committee took into account the low to very low quality of evidence in their discussions, particularly when considering the small amount of evidence for comparisons of TENS, PENS and ultrasound versus sham or usual care.</p></div><div id="niceng193er8.s1.7.1.3"><h5>1.7.1.3. Benefits and harms</h5><p>Evidence for laser therapy versus sham was based on 14 studies and showed a benefit of treatment in terms of pain and quality of life at short term follow up, although there was serious uncertainty around the effect estimates. The long-term data showing a benefit of laser therapy for pain was based on much smaller sample sizes. Contrastingly, evidence from 2 studies showed no clinically important difference (with some uncertainty) between laser therapy and sham for quality of life at less than 3 months, as measured by the mental component summary of the SF-36 questionnaire, but there was evidence to suggest a benefit on the physical component summary of the SF-36. At longer-term follow up, evidence from 2 studies also showed no clinically important difference. The committee noted that they would expect to see a consistent benefit across more domains, if an intervention were to be interpreted as being generally effective. This therefore raised questions about the effectiveness of the intervention for all critical outcomes being assessed. Evidence for psychological distress and discontinuation was limited at less than 3 months, with some low to moderate quality evidence suggesting there was no clinically important benefit of laser therapy, again based on small sample sizes and with serious uncertainty. No evidence was identified for physical function, pain interference or sleep either in the short or long term. The only long-term evidence was for outcomes of pain and quality of life.</p><p>The committee agreed that although there was some evidence of benefit for quality of life and pain, they could not make a recommendation for laser therapy. The evidence from clinical trials was heterogeneous. The physical parameters of the laser light used, the duration of treatment and the time the laser was applied to each painful point varied widely. It was also unclear whether these parameters affected the size, quality and duration of clinical benefit seen within the evidence. This made it difficult for the committee to be confident about the benefits of laser therapy in routine practice, or to make specific recommendations. No cost-effectiveness evidence or evidence assessing longer-term benefit was available. Comparisons were against sham laser therapy, rather than usual care, which is the comparison of greatest interest for implementation in the NHS. Taking all of this into account, the committee agreed they could not make a recommendation for the use of laser therapy in clinical practice. However, they agreed that this preliminary evidence looked promising, and as a result made a recommendation for further research.</p><p>Evidence for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) showed a benefit for pain at less than 3 months. This was based on 7 studies, although it was very low quality evidence with serious uncertainty. Evidence for other outcomes, including quality of life, physical function and psychological distress showed no clinical benefit of TMS. Furthermore, the long-term benefit of TMS was unclear with limited evidence. As a result, the committee agreed it could not base a recommendation on pain reduction alone, particularly taking into account the relatively small sample size and low quality of the evidence. The committee instead agreed that the short-term benefit for pain was promising, and that further long-term evidence is needed to determine the effectiveness of TMS. As a result the committee made a recommendation for future research.</p><p>Evidence for TENS showed no clinically important difference compared with sham TENS, nor with usual care for quality of life, physical function, psychological distress, pain interference, pain self-efficacy or discontinuation at less than 3 months. For pain, benefits were seen for TENS compared to sham at both time points, but not compared to usual care. The committee noted that there was significant heterogeneity between the two studies in the meta-analysis at less than 3 months compared to sham and the effect was only demonstrated in the smaller of the 2 studies (given more influence in the meta-analysis due to random effects being used in the meta-analysis). The evidence for longer term follow up was only from this single small study. They discussed that in the absence of evidence of benefit in any other outcome or compared to usual care, the significant heterogeneity and the small sample size, they could not place too much weight on this finding. The committee noted that the majority of the evidence came from 1 larger study and the quality of the evidence ranged from high to very low. No longer term evidence was identified with the exception of 1 pain outcome. No evidence was identified for ultrasound or interferential therapy. The committee also noted that these technologies have existed for some time and are being used by some in the NHS without evidence of benefit. The committee agreed that resources should be re-allocated to areas with more evidence of clinical and cost effectiveness. Therefore, the committee decided to make a recommendation against the use of TENS, ultrasound and interferential therapy.</p><p>The committee also considered the limited evidence identified for TDCS and PENS. Evidence was limited to a small number of studies with small sample sizes. Both interventions showed a benefit for pain, although TDCS showed mixed results for quality of life and psychological distress. PENS on the other hand also showed a benefit for quality of life. However, the evidence was low to very low quality, with uncertainty around the effect sizes. The committee agreed that this evidence was insufficient to determine the effectiveness of each intervention. However, the committee decided not to recommend against these interventions because neither intervention is commonly used in current practice. The committee also decided not to make a research recommendation due to this, and agreed that other areas reviewed across the guideline showed more promising results for future research to be warranted.</p></div></div><div id="niceng193er8.s1.7.2"><h4>1.7.2. Cost effectiveness and resource use</h4><p>No economic evidence was identified for this question.</p><p>It is common that some interventions such as interferential therapy, laser therapy and ultrasound therapy are a shared resource that would be available in most physiotherapy departments, as they might be used for a variety of conditions, and are counted as part of a physiotherapist&#x02019;s appointment. Costs of physiotherapist time were presented to the committee. Some interventions such as TMS are specialist and are not used clinically in the NHS for chronic pain.</p><p>There is also a distinction between interventions that the person could self-administer, and do not necessarily require appointments with NHS clinical staff to undertake the intervention. Examples of this would include TENS and TDCS.</p><p>If the use of these interventions in general is not widespread across the NHS for people with chronic primary pain, then a positive recommendation in favour of any interventions will require capital outlay to purchase more units to allow the interventions to be more widely available. TENS is relatively cheap and the cheapest of all the interventions to purchase. Costs of the devices for interferential therapy, laser therapy, and ultrasound therapy are not currently available on the NHS supply chain, but the costs of such units that were quoted in the low back pain guideline were presented to the committee as an illustration, which were sourced from the NHS supply chain in 2014.</p><p>The committee view of the clinical evidence was that there was considerable uncertainty in the data, with little long-term evidence. Additionally, data on who delivered the intervention was lacking and treatments were relatively short term with a wide range in the number of treatment sessions provided. The intervention which had the largest signal of benefit was laser therapy. This is not widely used in the NHS, and, because of a lack of cost effectiveness evidence of laser therapy, the committee decided to make a research recommendation for laser therapy.</p><p>The committee also made some recommendations to not offer some types of electrical physical modalities. This was because there was no or very little evidence, and the committee opinion was that as these are technologies that have been around for some time, no new research was likely to be undertaken. Additionally, they were also aware that as those treatments are being used by some people in the NHS, resources should be re-allocated to areas with more evidence of clinical and cost effectiveness.</p></div></div></div><div id="niceng193er8.rl.r1"><h2 id="_niceng193er8_rl_r1_">References</h2><dl class="temp-labeled-list"><dl class="bkr_refwrap"><dt>1.</dt><dd><div class="bk_ref" id="niceng193er8.ref1">Aarskog

Search filters were applied to the search where appropriate.</p><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figniceng193er8appbtab1"><a href="/books/NBK569985/table/niceng193er8.appb.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figniceng193er8appbtab1" rid-ob="figobniceng193er8appbtab1"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK569985/table/niceng193er8.appb.tab1/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK569985/table/niceng193er8.appb.tab1/?report=previmg" alt="Image " /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="niceng193er8.appb.tab1"><a href="/books/NBK569985/table/niceng193er8.appb.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobniceng193er8appbtab1">Table</a></h4><p class="float-caption no_bottom_margin">Exclusions Randomised controlled trials</p></div></div><p id="niceng193er8.appb.tab2"><a href="/books/NBK569985/table/niceng193er8.appb.tab2/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobniceng193er8appbtab2" class="figpopup">Medline (Ovid) search terms</a></p><p id="niceng193er8.appb.tab3"><a href="/books/NBK569985/table/niceng193er8.appb.tab3/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobniceng193er8appbtab3" class="figpopup">Embase (Ovid) search terms</a></p><p id="niceng193er8.appb.tab4"><a href="/books/NBK569985/table/niceng193er8.appb.tab4/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobniceng193er8appbtab4" class="figpopup">Cochrane Library (Wiley) search terms</a></p></div><div id="niceng193er8.appb.s2"><h4>B.2.

<b>Research question: What is the clinical and cost-effectiveness of laser therapy for managing chronic primary pain in people aged 16 years and over?</b>
</p><p>
<b>Why this is important:</b>
</p><p>Laser therapy involves the non-invasive application of a single wavelength of light to the skin over the painful area using a probe. There are various laser devices and probe configurations in clinical use. The light is absorbed in the tissues and it is hypothesised that this results in local heating and effects on local chemical activity and cellular behaviour. It is through those effects that laser therapy is purported to have an anti-inflammatory effect and promote tissue repair.</p><p>14 studies were included in this review comparing laser to sham in a range of conditions including burning mouth syndrome (4 studies), temporomandibular pain (4 studies), fibromyalgia (3 studies), neck pain (2 studies) and myofascial pain (1).</p><p>While evidence of clinical benefit was observed there remains uncertainty regarding the efficacy and effectiveness of laser therapy, though there is some promising evidence. There is therefore a need for high quality trials into the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of laser therapy for chronic primary pain.</p><p id="niceng193er8.appj.tab1"><a href="/books/NBK569985/table/niceng193er8.appj.tab1/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobniceng193er8appjtab1" class="figpopup">Criteria for selecting high-priority research recommendations</a></p></div><div id="niceng193er8.appj.s2"><h4>J.2. Transcranial magnetic stimulation</h4><p>
<b>Research question: What is the clinical and cost effectiveness of transcranial magnetic stimulation for managing chronic primary pain in people aged 16 years and over?</b>
</p><p>
<b>Why this is important:</b>
</p><p>Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been proposed as a potential treatment option for chronic pain as stimulation of the motor cortex of the brain is known to lead to analgesia. TMS has been researched in various chronic pain conditions including those that fall within the definition of chronic primary pain. However, whether or not TMS is an effective and cost-effective treatment option for chronic primary pain remains unclear. TMS is not provided as part of current clinical practice for people with chronic primary pain and its introduction into practice would incur costs in terms of provision of the equipment and training in the use of the equipment, and therefore good quality research is required to inform this decision.</p><p id="niceng193er8.appj.tab2"><a href="/books/NBK569985/table/niceng193er8.appj.tab2/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobniceng193er8appjtab2" class="figpopup">Criteria for selecting high-priority research recommendations</a></p></div></div><div id="niceng193er8.appk"><h3>Appendix K.

<p><b>Where there is discretion</b></p>
<p>The health economist will make a decision based on the relative applicability and quality of the available evidence for that question, in discussion with the guideline committee if required. The ultimate aim is to include health economic studies that are helpful for decision-making in the context of the guideline and the current NHS setting. If several studies are considered of sufficiently high applicability and methodological quality that they could all be included, then the health economist, in discussion with the committee if required, may decide to include only the most applicable studies and to selectively exclude the remaining studies. All studies excluded on the basis of applicability or methodological limitations will be listed with explanation in the excluded health economic studies appendix below.</p>
<p>The health economist will be guided by the following hierarchies.</p>
<p><i>Setting:</i>
<ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>UK NHS (most applicable).</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>OECD countries with predominantly public health insurance systems (for example, France, Germany, Sweden).</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>OECD countries with predominantly private health insurance systems (for example, Switzerland).</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Studies set in non-OECD countries or in the USA will be excluded before being assessed for applicability and methodological limitations.</div></li></ul></p>

<p>Conflicting evidence was found comparing laser with sham for pain and quality of life outcomes. While evidence of clinical benefit was observed in some comparisons for pain and quality of life, there were concerns with the quality and applicability of the evidence. There remains uncertainty regarding the efficacy and effectiveness of laser therapy, though there is some promising evidence. No cost-effectiveness evidence has been identified regarding use of laser for the management of chronic primary pain. However the NICE chronic pain guideline committee noted that there would be resource implications, including the provision and maintenance of equipment and training therapists.
