Background and Aims: Although abdominal pain is one of the major criteria to diagnose acute pancreatitis (AP), there are no standardized guidelines to treat this troublesome symptom in the hospital setting. The aims of the study are to conduct a meta-analysis and to assess the efficacy of nonopioids vs opioids for pain management in AP. Methods: We searched the medical literature through May 2021 to identify randomized controlled trials that examined the efficacy of opioids with nonopioids in AP pain management. Efficacy was reported as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of each comparison tested. Results: We identified 7 eligible randomized controlled trials, containing 389 patients. No significant difference in terms of pain intensity at day 1 (OR 0.82, 95% CI −2.55 to 4.19) was found between opioids and nonopioids. Nonopioids have a significantly high risk of supplementary analgesic use compared with opioids (OR 3.87, 95% CI 1.25–12.04). However, this significance is not seen when comparing nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and paracetamol with opioids (OR 1.67, 95% CI 0.73–3.82) after excluding trials with procaine. Opioids did not show a significant increase in the complications of pancreatitis, nausea and vomiting, sedation, and deaths when compared with nonopioids. Conclusion: We found nonopioids, especially nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and paracetamol, can provide adequate pain relief in patients with AP with no change in supplementary analgesic use and adverse events when compared with opioids. Further research is needed to optimize the use of nonopioids along or in combination with opioids for better pain control in patients with AP. |
