Reason for withdrawal from publication

In 2016, this review was passed from the Cochrane Musculoskeletal Review Group to the Pain, Palliative and Supportive Care (PaPaS) Review Group, due to the scope.

At October 2017, this review has been withdrawn. An update was in progress and was assessed by the Cochrane Funding Arbiter panel, who advised the following:

“Referral ref#239. The Funding Arbiters and Panel received all the information provided in your emails…The problem in this case is … that fact that the lead author, Dr Nurcan Üçeyler, has received financial support in the last 3 years from commercial sponsors or sources who have a real or potential financial interest in the findings of the review. The Lead Author of a review cannot have any conflicts whatsoever… The original version of the review was not compliant with the policy and neither is this update. Therefore the Funding Panel has determined that the update cannot be published and that the original review should be withdrawn.”

The editorial group responsible for this previously published document have withdrawn it from publication.
