- Interventions for treating chronic ankle instability
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jun-2011
Chronic lateral ankle instability occurs in 10% to 20% of people after an acute ankle sprain. Initial treatment is conservative but if this fails and ligament laxity is present, surgical intervention is considered.
- Interventions for treating functional dysphonia in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Nov-2008
Poor voice quality due to functional dysphonia can lead to a reduced quality of life. In occupations where voice use is substantial it can lead to a loss of employment.

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a relatively common chronic T cell-mediated disease, which can cause significant pain, particularly in its erosive or ulcerative forms. As pain is the indication for treatment of OLP, pain resolution is the primary outcome for
- Interventions for treating oral mucositis for patients with cancer receiving treatment
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Sep-2010
Treatment of cancer is increasingly effective but associated with short and long term side effects. Oral side effects, including oral mucositis (mouth ulceration), remain a major source of illness despite the use of a variety of agents to treat them.

Injuries of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) of the knee frequently occur in automobile accidents and sports injuries, although they are less frequent overall than injuries of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Some patients show significant sympt
- Interventions for treating psoriatic arthritis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Sep-2011
It has been estimated that arthritis occurs in 5-7% of those with psoriasis. Relatively few clinical trials of treatment are available for psoriatic arthritis and data presentation in these trials is far from uniform making comparison difficult.
- Interventions for treating traumatised ankylosed permanent front teeth
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Dec-2015
Teeth that have suffered trauma can fuse to the surrounding bone in a process called dental ankylosis. Ankylosed permanent front teeth fail to erupt during facial growth and can become displaced, thus resulting in functional and aesthetic problems. Dental
- Interventions for treating traumatised permanent front teeth: avulsed (knocked out) and replanted
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Nov-2009
Dental trauma is common. One of the most severe injuries is when a permanent tooth is knocked completely out (avulsed) of the mouth. In most circumstances the tooth should be replanted as quickly as possible. There is uncertainty on how best to prepare te

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Mar-2014
Dental trauma is common especially in children and young adults. One group of dento-alveolar injuries is classified as luxation. This group includes a subgroup of severe injuries where the tooth is displaced from its original position. These injuries are
