Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-May-2010
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, inflammatory, system disease. It commonly affects the small peripheral joints (such as fingers and wrist). The main goals of intervention for RA are preventing joint deformity, preserving joint function, and reducin
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) versus placebo for chronic low‐back pain
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Oct-2008
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) was introduced more than 30 years ago as a therapeutic adjunct to the pharmacological management of pain. However, despite widespread use, its effectiveness in chronic low-back pain (LBP) is still controv
- Transcutaneous electrostimulation for osteoarthritis of the knee
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Oct-2009
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of joint disease and the leading cause of pain and physical disability in the elderly. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), interferential current stimulation and pulsed electrostimulation are used wid
- Transfer of preterm infants from incubator to open cot at lower versus higher body weight
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Dec-2011
A key criterion for discharging preterm infants home from nurseries is their ability to maintain temperature once transferred from incubators to open cots. The timing of transfer is important given the preterm infant's immature thermoregulatory mechanisms
- Treadmill training and body weight support for walking after stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Aug-2017
Treadmill training, with or without body weight support using a harness, is used in rehabilitation and might help to improve walking after stroke. This is an update of the Cochrane review first published in 2003 and updated in 2005 and 2014.
- Treatment and prevention of pouchitis after ileal pouch‐anal anastomosis for chronic ulcerative colitis

Urinary tract infections, including pyelonephritis, are serious complications that may lead to significant maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. There is a large number of drugs, and combination of them, available to treat urinary tract infection
- Tricyclic and related drugs for nocturnal enuresis in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2016
Enuresis (bedwetting) affects up to 20% of five year-olds and 2% of adults. Although spontaneous remission often occurs, the social, emotional and psychological costs can be great. Tricyclics have been used to treat enuresis since the 1960s.
