- Individual patient education for low back pain
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jan-2011
While many different types of patient education are widely used, the effect of individual patient education for low-back pain (LBP) has not yet been systematically reviewed.
- Indoor air modification interventions for prolonged non-specific cough in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jan-2009
Non-specific cough has been defined as non-productive cough in the absence of identifiable respiratory disease or known aetiology and is common in childhood. These children are treated with a variety of therapies, including non-pharmacological treatments.
- Inhaled beta2-agonists for non-specific chronic cough in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Mar-2009
The pathophysiology of so called 'cough variant asthma' has not received a great deal of research interest and opinion lies divided as to whether it is really asthma or not. The proponents of cough variant asthma suggest a therapeutic trial of medications
- Inhaled corticosteroids for non-specific chronic cough in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Mar-2009
Cough in isolation of other clinical features is known as non-specific cough, which has been defined as non-productive cough in the absence of identifiable respiratory disease or any known aetiology. In children with non-specific cough the possibility of
- Inhaled cromones for prolonged non-specific cough in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jul-2010
Non-specific cough is defined as non-productive cough in the absence of identifiable respiratory disease or known aetiology. It is commonly seen in paediatric practice. These children are treated with a variety of therapies including inhaled cromones.
- Inhaled nitric oxide for acute chest syndrome in people with sickle cell disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Jan-2013
Acute chest syndrome has been defined as a new infiltrate visible on chest radiograph associated with one or more symptoms, such as fever, cough, sputum production, tachypnoea, dyspnoea, or new-onset hypoxia. Symptoms and complications of this syndrome, w
- Inhaled steroids for episodic viral wheeze of childhood
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Sep-2008
Recurrent episodic wheeze in association with viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) is a specific clinical illness distinct from persistent atopic asthma.
- Initial management strategies for dyspepsia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Jul-2009
This review considers management strategies (combinations of initial investigation and empirical treatments) for dyspeptic patients. Dyspepsia was defined to include both epigastric pain and heartburn.
- Insoles for prevention and treatment of back pain
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Feb-2010
There is lack of theoretical and clinical knowledge of the use of insoles for prevention or treatment of back pain. The high incidence of back pain and the popularity of shoe insoles call for a systematic review of this practice.
- Intermittent catheter techniques, strategies and designs for managing long‐term bladder conditions
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Oct-2021
Intermittent catheterisation (IC) is a commonly recommended procedure for people with incomplete bladder emptying. Frequent complications are urinary tract infection (UTI), urethral trauma and discomfort during catheter use. Despite the many designs of in
- Interventions for dysphagia and nutritional support in acute and subacute stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Sep-2012
Dysphagia (swallowing problems) are common after stroke and can cause chest infection and malnutrition. Dysphagic, and malnourished, stroke patients have a poorer outcome.
- Interventions for dysphagia in long-term, progressive muscle disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Jan-2016
Normal swallowing function is divided into oral, pharyngeal, and oesophageal phases. The anatomy and physiology of the oral cavity facilitates an oral preparatory phase of swallowing, in which food and liquid are pushed towards the pharynx by the tongue.
- Interventions for fatigue and weight loss in adults with advanced progressive illness
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Sep-2015
Fatigue and unintentional weight loss are two of the commonest symptoms experienced by people with advanced progressive illness. Appropriate interventions may bring considerable improvements in function and quality of life to seriously ill people and thei
- Interventions for improving mobility after hip fracture surgery in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Sep-2022
Improving mobility outcomes after hip fracture is key to recovery. Possible strategies include gait training, exercise and muscle stimulation. This is an update of a Cochrane Review last published in 2011.
- Interventions for improving oral health in people after stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Dec-2020
For people with physical, sensory and cognitive limitations due to stroke, the routine practice of oral health care (OHC) may become a challenge. Evidence-based supported oral care intervention is essential for this patient group.
- Interventions for leg cramps in pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Oct-2015
Many women experience leg cramps in pregnancy. They become more common as pregnancy progresses and are especially troublesome at night.
- Interventions for preventing and treating low-back and pelvic pain during pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Sep-2015
More than two-thirds of pregnant women experience low-back pain and almost one-fifth experience pelvic pain. The two conditions may occur separately or together (low-back and pelvic pain) and typically increase with advancing pregnancy, interfering with w
- Interventions for preventing ankle ligament injuries
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Mar-2011
Some sports, for example basketball and soccer, have a very high incidence of ankle injuries, mainly sprains. Consequently, ankle sprains are one of the most commonly treated injuries in acute care.
- Interventions for preventing falls in elderly people
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Nov-2009
Approximately 30 per cent of people over 65 years of age and living in the community fall each year; the number is higher in institutions. Although less than one fall in 10 results in a fracture, a fifth of fall incidents require medical attention.
- Interventions for preventing lower limb soft-tissue running injuries
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Aug-2011
Overuse soft-tissue injuries occur frequently in runners. Stretching exercises, modification of training schedules, and the use of protective devices such as braces and insoles are often advocated for prevention. This is an update of a review first publis
