As a group, they held five teleconferences and two on-site meetings to discuss the findings in the literature and make a correlation with their practice in order to arrive at a consensus. Initially, they identified the Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) on the topic of neurostimulation using the Tripdatabase meta-search engine. Then, in order to identify articles not included in the existing guidelines, a non-systematic search was conducted in the Cochrane, EMBASE, LILACS and MEDLINE databases using as search descriptors the terms “failed back surgery syndrome” AND “spinal cord stimulation”; “complex regional pain syndrome” AND “spinal cord stimulation”; “pain in refractory angina” AND “spinal cord stimulation” AND chronic ischemic lower extremity pain AND “spinal cord stimulation”. When the strategy yielded too many retrieved articles, the Systematic Review OR Meta-analysis OR Randomized Clinical Trials filters were used. In some painful syndromes, due to the small number of articles retrieved, no limits or filters were applied to the search. The search was limited by year of publication (2000–2014), but not so by language and/or abstracts.</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">CPGs were assessed by three independent reviewers using the AGREE-II tool, in order to arrive at global quality score.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0245"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> This tool also provides a methodological strategy for guideline development. It consists of a form divided into six domains with 23 questions, followed by two global score forms. Each question is assessed on a Linkert scale from 1 to 7. It has not established minimum scores or score patterns between domains to differentiate between high- and low-quality guidelines. After completing the 23 items, the AGREE-II users must perform two global assessments of the guidelines that require the user to judge the quality of the guideline taking into consideration the criteria applied during the evaluation process. The user is also asked whether he/she would recommend the use of the guideline.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0245"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> The GRADE tool was used for systematic reviews (SR) of the literature and individual studies;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0250"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">15</span></a> this tool is a system for classifying the quality of the evidence and rating the strength of the recommendations.
