- Hyperfractionated or accelerated radiotherapy for head and neck cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Dec-2010
Several trials have studied the role of altered fractionation radiotherapy in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, but the effect of such treatment on survival is not clear.
- Hypertonic saline versus other intracranial pressure–lowering agents for people with acute traumatic brain injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jan-2020
Increased intracranial pressure has been shown to be strongly associated with poor neurological outcomes and mortality for patients with acute traumatic brain injury. Currently, most efforts to treat these injuries focus on controlling the intracranial pr
- Hypertonic salt solution for peri‐operative fluid management
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Jun-2016
Fluid excess may place people undergoing surgery at risk for various complications. Hypertonic salt solution (HS) maintains intravascular volume with less intravenous fluid than isotonic salt (IS) solutions, but may increase serum sodium. This review was
- Hypertonic versus near isotonic crystalloid for fluid resuscitation in critically ill patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jul-2004
Hypertonic solutions are considered to have a greater ability to expand blood volume and thus elevate blood pressure and can be administered as a small volume infusion over a short time period. On the other hand, the use of hypertonic solutions for volume
- Hyperventilation therapy for acute traumatic brain injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Oct-1997
Because hyperventilation is often associated with a rapid fall in intracranial pressure, it has been assumed to be effective in the treatment of severe head injury. Hyperventilation reduces raised intracranial pressure by causing cerebral vasoconstriction
- Hypnosis during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period for preventing postnatal depression
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-May-2012
The morbidity caused by postnatal depression is enormous. Several psychological or psychosocial interventions have appeared to be effective for treating the disorder although they have not shown a clear benefit in preventing the development of PND. As yet
- Hypnosis for children undergoing dental treatment
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jun-2017
Managing children is a challenge that many dentists face. Many non-pharmacological techniques have been developed to manage anxiety and behavioural problems in children, such us: 'tell, show & do', positive reinforcement, modelling and hypnosis. The use o
- Hypnosis for induction of labour
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Aug-2014
Induction of labour using pharmacological and mechanical methods can increase complications. Complementary and alternative medicine methods including hypnosis may have the potential to provide a safe alternative option for the induction of labour. However
- Hypnosis for pain management during labour and childbirth
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-May-2016
This review is one in a series of Cochrane reviews investigating pain management for childbirth. These reviews all contribute to an overview of systematic reviews of pain management for women in labour, and share a generic protocol. This review updates an
- Hypnosis for schizophrenia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Oct-2007
Many people with schizophrenia continue to experience symptoms despite conventional treatments being used. Alternative therapies such as hypnosis, in conjunction with conventional treatments, may be helpful.
- Hypnotherapy for smoking cessation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Jun-2019
Hypnotherapy is widely promoted as a method for aiding smoking cessation. It is intended to act on underlying impulses to weaken the desire to smoke, or strengthen the will to stop.
- Hypnotherapy for treatment of irritable bowel syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-May-2008
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
- Hypofractionation for clinically localized prostate cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Sep-2019
Using hypofractionation (fewer, larger doses of daily radiation) to treat localized prostate cancer may improve convenience and resource use. For hypofractionation to be feasible, it must be at least as effective for cancer-related outcomes and have compa
- Hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis suppression after treatment with glucocorticoid therapy for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Nov-2017
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, 28-Feb-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 brain injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Sep-2017
Hypothermia has been used in the treatment of brain 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, 22-Jan-2001
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, 21-Jul-2003
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
