Gabapentinoids for chronic low back pain: a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials

Discussion The proposed systematic review will be able to provide valuable evidence to help decision-making in the use of gabapentinoids for the treatment of CLBP. This will help advance patient care and potentially highlight limitations in existing evidence to direct future research. Ethics and dissemination Being a systematic review, this study would not necessitate ethical review and approval. We plan to report and publish our study findings in a high impact medical journal, with online access. Trial registration number CRD42016034040.
