- Exercise for intermittent claudication
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Dec-2017
Exercise programmes are a relatively inexpensive, low-risk option compared with other, more invasive therapies for treatment of leg pain on walking (intermittent claudication (IC)). This is the fourth update of a review first published in 1998.
- Exercise for overweight or obesity
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Nov-2008

- Exercise for the management of cancer‐related fatigue in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Nov-2012
Cancer-related fatigue is recognised as an important symptom associated with cancer and its treatment. A number of studies have investigated the effects of physical activity in reducing cancer-related fatigue. This is an updated version of the original Co
- Exercise for treating anterior cruciate ligament injuries in combination with collateral ligament and meniscal damage of the knee in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Mar-2011
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most frequently injured ligament of the knee. The ACL may be damaged in isolation but often other ligaments and menisci are implicated. The injury may be managed surgically or conservatively. Injury causes pain,
- Exercise for treating isolated anterior cruciate ligament injuries in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Mar-2011
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most frequently injured ligament of the knee. Injury causes pain, effusion and inflammation leading to the inability to fully activate the thigh muscles. Regaining muscular control is essential if the individual
- Exercise for type 2 diabetes mellitus
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Nov-2008
Exercise is generally recommended for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, some studies evaluate an exercise intervention including diet or behaviour modification or both, and the effects of diet and exercise are not differentiated. Some exercis
- Exercise for vasomotor menopausal symptoms
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Nov-2014
Evidence suggests that many perimenopausal and early postmenopausal women will experience menopausal symptoms; hot flushes are the most common. Symptoms caused by fluctuating levels of oestrogen may be alleviated by hormone therapy (HT), but a marked glob
- Exercise for women receiving adjuvant therapy for breast cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Sep-2008
A huge clinical research database on adjuvant cancer treatment has verified improvements in breast cancer outcomes such as recurrence and mortality rates. On the other hand, adjuvant therapy with agents such as hormone therapy, chemotherapy and radiothera
- Exercise in prevention and treatment of anxiety and depression among children and young people
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Oct-2008
Depression and anxiety are common psychological disorders for children and adolescents. Psychological (e.g. psychotherapy), psychosocial (e.g. cognitive behavioral therapy) and biological (e.g. SSRIs or tricyclic drugs) treatments are the most common trea
- Exercise or other physical activity for preventing pre-eclampsia and its complications
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jan-2010
The association between an increase in regular physical activity and a reduction in the risk of hypertension is well documented for non-pregnant people. It has been suggested that exercise may help prevent pre-eclampsia and its complications. Possible adv
- Exercise therapy in juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Jun-2008
Exercise therapy is considered an important component of the treatment of arthritis. The efficacy of exercise therapy has been reviewed in adults with rheumatoid arthritis but not in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
- Exercise‐based cardiac rehabilitation for coronary heart disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Nov-2021
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common cause of death globally. However, with falling CHD mortality rates, an increasing number of people living with CHD may need support to manage their symptoms and prognosis. Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitati
- Exercise-based rehabilitation for heart failure
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Apr-2014
Previous systematic reviews and meta-analyses consistently show the positive effect of exercise-based rehabilitation for heart failure (HF) on exercise capacity; however, the direction and magnitude of effects on health-related quality of life, mortality
- External counterpulsation for acute ischaemic stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Nov-2011
External counterpulsation (ECP) may improve cerebral blood flow, and it has been proposed as a potential therapy for patients with ischaemic stroke.
- Extracranial-intracranial arterial bypass surgery for occlusive carotid artery disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Dec-2009
The EC/IC Bypass Study Group found no benefit of extracranial to intracranial (EC/IC) bypass surgery over medical therapy in patients with symptomatic carotid artery occlusion (sCAO). However, the study was criticised for many reasons and the real effect
- Factor Xa inhibitors for acute coronary syndromes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Feb-2011
The activation of coagulation mechanisms plays a central role in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Administration of unfractionated heparin (UFH) and low molecular weight heparins (LMWH), agents preventing the progression of thrombus for
- Fast-track cardiac care for adult cardiac surgical patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Sep-2012
Fast-track cardiac care is a complex intervention involving several components of care during cardiac anaesthesia and in the postoperative period, all with the ultimate aim of early extubation after surgery, to reduce the length of stay in the intensive c
- Fermented milk for hypertension
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Feb-2012
Fermented milk has been suggested to have a blood pressure lowering effect through increased content of proteins and peptides produced during the bacterial fermentation. Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease world wide a
- Fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) for fetal monitoring during labour
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Dec-2015
Hypoxaemia during labour can alter the shape of the fetal electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform, notably the relation of the PR to RR intervals, and elevation or depression of the ST segment. Technical systems have therefore been developed to monitor the fetal
- Fibrinogen depleting agents for acute ischaemic stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Oct-2013
Fibrinogen depleting agents reduce fibrinogen in blood plasma, reduce blood viscosity and hence increase blood flow. This may help remove the blood clot blocking the artery and re-establish blood flow to the affected area of the brain after an ischaemic s
