Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-May-2014
Antidepressants are widely used to treat chronic neuropathic pain (pain due to nerve damage), usually in doses below those at which they exert antidepressant effects. An earlier review that included all antidepressants for neuropathic pain is being replac
- Imiquimod for anogenital warts in non-immunocompromised adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Oct-2014
30% of people with anogenital warts (AGW) have spontaneous regression of lesions but there is no way to determine whether a specific lesion will remain. There are a wide range of options available for treating people with AGW and selection is based on cli

- Immediate postabortal insertion of intrauterine devices
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Jul-2014
The use of an effective contraceptive may be necessary after an abortion. Insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD) may be done the same day or later. Immediate IUD insertion is an option since the woman is not pregnant, pain of insertion is less because
- Immediate postpartum insertion of intrauterine device for contraception
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jun-2015
Women who want to start intrauterine contraception (IUC) during the postpartum period might benefit from IUC insertion immediately after delivery. Postplacental insertion greatly reduces the risk of subsequent pregnancy and eliminates the need for a retur
- Immediate referral to colposcopy versus cytological surveillance for minor cervical cytological abnormalities in the absence of HPV test
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jan-2017
A significant number of women are diagnosed with minor cytological abnormalities on cervical screening. Many authorities recommend surveillance as spontaneous regression might occur. However, attendance for cytological follow-up decreases with time and mi
- Immediate start of hormonal contraceptives for contraception
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Dec-2012
Health care providers often tell women to wait until the next menses to begin hormonal contraception. The intent is to avoid contraceptive use during an undetected pregnancy. An alternative is to start hormonal contraception immediately with back-up birth
- Immediate versus deferred delivery of the preterm baby with suspected fetal compromise for improving outcomes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Jul-2016
Immediate delivery of the preterm fetus with suspected compromise may decrease the risk of damage due to intrauterine hypoxia. However, it may also increase the risks of prematurity.
- Immediate versus deferred zidovudine (AZT) in asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic HIV infected adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Jul-2000
Zidovudine (AZT) monotherapy was the first antiretroviral drug to be tested widely. Subsequent trials in asymptomatic or early symptomatic HIV infection indicated short-term delays in disease progression with AZT, but not improved survival.
- Immediate versus delayed postpartum insertion of contraceptive implant for contraception
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Apr-2017
The spacing of pregnancies has a positive impact on maternal and newborn health. The progestin contraceptive implant, which is a long-acting, reversible method of contraception, has a well-established low failure rate that is compatible with tubal sterili
- Immediate versus delayed reconstruction following surgery for breast cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jul-2011
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women and has a lifetime incidence of one in nine in the UK. Curative treatment requires surgery, and may involve adjuvant and neo-adjuvant therapy. In many women, post-mastectomy breast reconstruction is esse

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Sep-2016
The timing of surgery for recently symptomatic carotid artery stenosis remains controversial. Early cerebral revascularization may prevent a disabling or fatal ischemic recurrence, but it may also increase the risk of hemorrhagic transformation, or of dis
- Immediate-release methylphenidate for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-May-2016
Symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), diagnosed mainly in children, often persist into adulthood. Adults in this group have a high rate of other psychiatric problems and functional difficulties in a number of key areas such as acade
- Immediate‐release methylphenidate for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jan-2021
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by symptoms of inattention or impulsivity or both, and hyperactivity, which affect children, adolescents, and adults. In some countries, methylphenidate is the first option to treat adults w

- Immersion in water during labour and birth
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-May-2018
Water immersion during labour and birth is increasingly popular and is becoming widely accepted across many countries, and particularly in midwifery-led care settings. However, there are concerns around neonatal water inhalation, increased requirement for
- Immobilisation and functional treatment for acute lateral ankle ligament injuries in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Feb-2013
Acute lateral ankle ligament injuries (ankle sprains) are common problems in acute medical care. The treatment variation observed for the acutely injured lateral ankle ligament complex suggests a lack of evidence-based management strategies for this probl
- Immune tolerance induction for treating inhibitors in people with congenital haemophilia A or B
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Apr-2015
The occurrence of factor inhibitory antibodies, or inhibitors, is a significant complication in the care of individuals with congenital haemophilia A or B. Currently, immune tolerance induction is the only known intervention to successfully eradicate inhi
