Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder of unknown aetiology. Current pharmacological treatments have limited value. Hypnotherapy has been reported to have beneficial effects for IBS symptoms.
- Hypofractionated radiation therapy for early breast cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jul-2016
Shortening the duration of radiation therapy would benefit women with early breast cancer treated with breast conserving surgery. It may also improve access to radiation therapy by improving efficiency in radiation oncology departments globally. This can
- Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression after treatment with glucocorticoid therapy for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Aug-2015
Glucocorticoids play a major role in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). However, supraphysiological doses can suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. HPA axis suppression resulting in reduced cortisol response may cause
- Hypothermia for neuroprotection in adults after cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Feb-2016
Good neurological outcome after cardiac arrest is difficult to achieve. Interventions during the resuscitation phase and treatment within the first hours after the event are critical. Experimental evidence suggests that therapeutic hypothermia is benefici
- Hypothermia for neuroprotection in children after cardiopulmonary arrest
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Jan-2013
Cardiopulmonary arrest in paediatric patients often results in death or survival with severe brain injury. Therapeutic hypothermia, lowering of the core body temperature to 32 °C to 34 °C, may reduce injury to the brain in the period after the circulation
- Hypothermia for traumatic head injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Aug-2009
Hypothermia has been used in the treatment of head injury for many years. Encouraging results from small trials and laboratory studies led to renewed interest in the area and some larger trials.
- Hypothermia to reduce neurological damage following coronary artery bypass surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Dec-2012
Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) may be life saving, but known side effects include neurological damage and cognitive impairment. The temperature used during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may be important with regard to these adverse outcomes, where h
- Hypotonic vs isotonic saline solutions for intravenous fluid management of acute infections
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Sep-2008
Hypotonic saline (such as 0.18-0.3% NaCl with dextrose) is commonly used as maintenance fluid in the management of acute infections. In recent years there have been numerous reports of hypotonic saline solutions being associated with adverse outcomes. To
- Hypoxia‐inducible factor stabilisers for the anaemia of chronic kidney disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Aug-2022
Anaemia occurs in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is more prevalent with lower levels of kidney function. Anaemia in CKD is associated with death related to cardiovascular (CV) disease and infection. Established treatments include erythropoiesis-stimulat
- Hysterectomy versus hysterectomy plus oophorectomy for premenopausal women
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Aug-2014
Prophylactic oophorectomy alongside hysterectomy in premenopausal women is a common procedure. The decision to remove or conserve the ovaries is often based on the perceived risk for ovarian cancer and the need for additional gynaecological surgical inter

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Aug-2022
This is an update of the Cochrane Review published in Issue 4, 2015. Cervical cancer is one of the most frequent cause of death from gynaecological cancers worldwide. Many new cervical cancer cases in low-income countries present at an advanced stage. Sta
- Hysteroscopy for treating subfertility associated with suspected major uterine cavity abnormalities
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Feb-2015
Observational studies suggest higher pregnancy rates after the hysteroscopic removal of endometrial polyps, submucous fibroids, uterine septum or intrauterine adhesions, which are detectable in 10% to 15% of women seeking treatment for subfertility.

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Dec-2013
Both paracetamol and ibuprofen are commonly used analgesics for the relief of pain following the surgical removal of lower wisdom teeth (third molars). In 2010, a novel analgesic (marketed as Nuromol) containing both paracetamol and ibuprofen in the same
- Ibuprofen for acute treatment of episodic tension‐type headache in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Jul-2015
Tension-type headache (TTH) affects about one person in five worldwide. It is divided into infrequent episodic TTH (fewer than one headache per month), frequent episodic TTH (1 to 14 headaches per month), and chronic TTH (15 headaches a month or more). Ib

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-May-2008
Non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen may have a role in the treatment of conditions characterized by inflammatory processes. Ibuprofen may attenuate the effects of modulators of inflammation that have been implicated in the pathogenesis
