A multimodal analgesic approach is recommended for these patients. This study reviews the analgesic efficacy of duloxetine, a selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor used as an adjuvant for opioid-sparing postoperative analgesia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>After registering the protocol in the international prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO), databases like PubMed, Ovid, Scopus, Cochrane Library and clinicaltrials.gov were searched for randomised controlled trials using relevant keywords to find studies in which duloxetine premedication was compared to a placebo in patients undergoing hysterectomy. The revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomised trials (RoB 2) was used to assess the quality of evidence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The qualitative systematic review included five of the 88 studies identified. The overall risk of bias in the included studies was very high. In all the studies, 60 mg oral duloxetine was used, and the control group was placebo. In two studies, duloxetine premedication was administered 2 h before and 24 h after surgery. In the other three studies, a single dose of 60 mg duloxetine was only administered 2 h before surgery. A pooled meta-analysis was not performed due to fewer studies that fulfilled the inclusion criteria and even fewer studies with consistent reporting of various outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The evidence is insufficient to advocate routine duloxetine premedication in patients undergoing hysterectomy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ija.ija_170_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,5]],"date-time":"2023-09-05T14:14:27Z","timestamp":1693923267000},"page":"770-777","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Analgesic efficacy and safety of duloxetine premedication in patients undergoing hysterectomy \u2013 A systematic review"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"67","author":[{"given":"Abhijit","family":"Nair","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology, Ibra Hospital, Ministry of Health-Oman, Ibra-414, Sultanate of Oman"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manish","family":"Thakre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Government Medical College, Nagpur, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manamohan","family":"Rangaiah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthetics and Pain Management, Walsall Manor Hospital, Moat Rd, Walsall WS2 9PS, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ujjwalraj","family":"Dudhedia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology and Pain Management, DR.
