The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of each database to July 2022. The quality of the included RCTs was evaluated using the bias risk assessment tool recommended by Cochrane. Stata 14.0 was used for network meta-analysis.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A total of 13 RCTs, 1040 patients and 9 drugs were finally included. The results of the network meta-analysis showed that the effectiveness ranking as rated by the visual analog scale (VAS) was gabapentin &gt; pregabalin &gt; fluoxetine &gt; lamotrigine &gt; duloxetine &gt; serqulin &gt; amitriptyline &gt; carbamazepine &gt; vitamin B. Ranking according to the numerical rating scale (NRS) was pregabalin &gt; gabapentin &gt; carbamazepine. Ranking derived from the Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) was pregabalin &gt; duloxetine &gt; gabapentin &gt; amitriptyline.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>All nine drugs can relieve the pain of CPSP patients to different degrees; among them pregabalin and gabapentin have the most significant effect, and gabapentin and pregabalin also have the most adverse reactions. In the future, more multicenter, large sample, double-blind clinical randomized controlled trials need to be carried out to supplement and demonstrate the results of this study.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0276012","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,13]],"date-time":"2022-10-13T17:31:37Z","timestamp":1665682297000},"page":"e0276012","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Efficacy and safety of different antidepressants and anticonvulsants in central poststroke pain: A network meta-analysis and systematic review"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Ke-Yu","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8268-4386","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ruo-Yang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0276012.ref001","first-page":"35","article-title":"Prevalence of chronic pain and its impact on health-related quality of life in stroke survivors","volume":"85","author":"KH Kong","year":"2004","journal-title":"Arch Phys Med Rehabil"},{"key":"pone.0276012.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1238","DOI":"10.1161\/STROKEAHA.111.671008","article-title":"Chronic pain syndromes after ischemic stroke:profess trial","volume":"44","author":"MJ O\u2019Donnell","year":"2013","journal-title":"Stroke"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0276012.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"13","DOI":"10.1016\/0304-3959(89)90107-3","article-title":"Central post-stroke pain\u2014neurological symptoms and pain characteristics","volume":"36","author":"G Leijon","year":"1989","journal-title":"Pain"},{"issue":"5","key":"pone.0276012.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"804","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pmn.2015.03.002","article-title":"A Comprehensive Review of Central Post-Stroke Pain","volume":"16","author":"H S Oh","year":"2015","journal-title":"Pain Management Nursing"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0276012.ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"63","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pmrj.2016.05.015","article-title":"Demystifying Poststroke Pain: From Etiology to Treatment","volume":"9","author":"AK Treister","year":"2017","journal-title":"PM R"},{"issue":"3","key":"pone.0276012.ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"73","DOI":"10.1097\/WNF.0000000000000330","article-title":"Effect of Duloxetine for the Treatment of Chronic Central Poststroke Pain","volume":"42","author":"N.Y.
