Essential tremor (ET) is one of the most common movement disorders. Treatment is based primarily on pharmacological agents. On this basis, although primidone and propranolol are well-established treatments in clinical practice, they could be ineffective i
- Altered dietary salt for preventing pre-eclampsia, and its complications
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jan-2012
In the past, women have been advised that lowering their salt intake might reduce their risk of developing pre-eclampsia. Although this practice has largely ceased, it remains important to assess the evidence about possible effects of altered dietary salt
- Altered dietary salt intake for people with chronic kidney disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Feb-2015
Salt intake shows great promise as a modifiable risk factor for reducing heart disease incidence and delaying kidney function decline in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, a clear consensus of the benefits of reducing salt in people with C
- Altered dietary salt intake for preventing and treating diabetic kidney disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Nov-2010
There is strong evidence that our current consumption of salt is a major factor for increased blood pressure (BP) and a modest reduction in salt intake lowers BP whether BP levels are normal or raised. Tight control of BP in diabetics lowers the risk of s
- Alternating current cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) for depression
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Jul-2014
Depression is a mood disorder with a prevalence of approximately 1% to 3% worldwide, representing the fourth leading cause of disease burden globally. The current standard treatments of psychological therapy and antidepressant medications are not effectiv

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Sep-2012
Patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) usually present with dysphonia, but can also be breathless and have problems with their swallowing. Speech and language therapy forms the initial mainstay of management in cases of UVFP, since up to 60%
- Alternative magnesium sulphate regimens for women with pre-eclampsia and eclampsia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Mar-2011
Magnesium sulphate remains the drug of choice for both prevention and treatment of women with eclampsia. Regimens for administration of this drug have evolved over the years, but have not yet been formally evaluated.
- Alternative positions for the baby at birth before clamping the umbilical cord
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Dec-2011
The third stage of labour is from birth of the baby until delivery of the placenta. Clamping the umbilical cord is one component of active management of the third stage. Deferring cord clamping allows blood flow between the baby and the placenta to contin

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jun-2012
Alternative institutional settings have been established for the care of pregnant women who prefer little or no medical intervention. The settings may offer care throughout pregnancy and birth, or only during labour; they may be part of hospitals or frees
- Alternative versus standard packages of antenatal care for low-risk pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Jul-2015
The number of visits for antenatal (prenatal) care developed without evidence of how many visits are necessary. The content of each visit also needs evaluation.
- Alternatives to inpatient mental health care for children and young people
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Feb-2009
Current policy in the UK and elsewhere places emphasis on the provision of mental health services in the least restrictive setting, whilst also recognising that some children will require inpatient care. As a result, there are a range of mental health ser
- Amantadine and rimantadine for influenza A in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Jun-2012
Amantadine hydrochloride (amantadine) and rimantadine hydrochloride (rimantadine) have antiviral properties, but they are not widely used due to a lack of knowledge of their potential value and concerns about possible adverse effects.
- Amantadine and rimantadine for influenza A in children and the elderly
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Nov-2014
Influenza is an acute respiratory illness caused by influenza A and B viruses. Complications may occur, especially among children and the elderly.
- Amantadine for dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Nov-2008
Abnormal involuntary movements known as dyskinesias are amongst the most disabling side-effects of levodopa therapy. It is thought that amantadine, an NMDA-receptor antagonist, may reduce dyskinesias in patients with Parkinson's disease without worsening
- Amantadine for fatigue in multiple sclerosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Oct-2008
Fatigue is one of the most common and disabling symptoms of people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The effective management of fatigue has an important impact on the patient's functioning, abilities, and quality of life. Although a number of strategies have
- Amantadine in Parkinson's disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Nov-2008
Although levodopa is the most common drug prescribed to relieve the symptoms of Parkinson's disease it is associated with motor and psychiatric side-effects. Consequently, interest has turned to alternative drugs with improved side-effect profiles to repl
- Ambroxol for women at risk of preterm birth for preventing neonatal respiratory distress syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Oct-2014
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is caused by a deficiency of pulmonary surfactant (an active agent that keeps pulmonary alveoli open and facilitates the entry of air to the lungs, thus improving the oxygenation of the newborn).
