- Interventions for the treatment of decreased bone mineral density associated with HIV infection
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Apr-2007
Decreased bone mineral density (BMD) occurs more commonly in patients with HIV than in the general population, making this group more susceptible to fragility fractures. However, bone loss is under-treated in patients with HIV.
- Interventions for toxic epidermal necrolysis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Feb-2015
Toxic epidermal necrolysis is a rare condition where a drug reaction induces skin loss, similar to that seen in extensive burns. It is associated with high morbidity and mortality and there is no clear agreement on effective treatment.
- Interventions for treating burning mouth syndrome

Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a term used for oral mucosal pain (burning pain or discomfort in the tongue, lips or entire oral cavity) without identifiable cause. General population prevalence varies from 0.1% to 3.9%. Many BMS patients indicate anxiety
- Interventions for treating chronic pelvic pain in women
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Mar-2015
Chronic pelvic pain is common in women in the reproductive and older age groups and causes disability and distress. Often investigation by laparoscopy reveals no obvious cause for the pain. As the pathophysiology of chronic pelvic pain is not well underst

Melioidosis is an infectious disease that occurs in tropical regions, particularly in Thailand. It is caused by the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei and is a serious condition which can be fatal. Beta-lactam antibiotics have dramatically reduced the ri
- Interventions for treating oral candidiasis for patients with cancer receiving treatment
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Jul-2010
Treatment of cancer is increasingly effective but is associated with short and long term side effects. Oral and gastrointestinal side effects, including oral candidiasis, remain a major source of illness despite the use of a variety of agents to treat the
- Interventions for treating oral lichen planus: corticosteroid therapies
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Feb-2020
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.
- Interventions for treating tuberculous pericarditis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Sep-2017
Tuberculous pericarditis can impair the heart's function and cause death; long term, it can cause the membrane to fibrose and constrict causing heart failure. In addition to antituberculous chemotherapy, treatments include corticosteroids, drainage, and s
- Interventions in the management of serum lipids for preventing stroke recurrence
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Jul-2009
Studies have shown that interventions which reduce total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels also reduce coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke events in those with a history of CHD. However, it is uncertain whether treatment to alter choleste
- Interventions to improve adherence to lipid‐lowering medication
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Dec-2016
Lipid-lowering drugs are widely underused, despite strong evidence indicating they improve cardiovascular end points. Poor patient adherence to a medication regimen can affect the success of lipid-lowering treatment.
- Intra-articular corticosteroid for knee osteoarthritis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Oct-2015
Knee osteoarthritis is a leading cause of chronic pain, disability, and decreased quality of life. Despite the long-standing use of intra-articular corticosteroids, there is an ongoing debate about their benefits and safety. This is an update of a Cochran

- Intranasal corticosteroids for asthma control in people with coexisting asthma and rhinitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jul-2003
Allergic rhinitis and asthma are mediated by similar allergic mechanisms. They may represent two manifestations of the same united airway disease and therefore intranasal corticosteroids (INCS) could improve asthma. Nevertheless none of the asthma guideli
