- Multidisciplinary rehabilitation following botulinum toxin and other focal intramuscular treatment for post-stroke spasticity
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-May-2013
Spasticity may affect stroke survivors by contributing to activity limitations, caregiver burden, pain and reduced quality of life (QoL). Spasticity management guidelines recommend multidisciplinary (MD) rehabilitation programmes following botulinum toxin
- Multi‐disciplinary rehabilitation for acquired brain injury in adults of working age
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Dec-2015
Evidence from systematic reviews demonstrates that multi-disciplinary rehabilitation is effective in the stroke population, in which older adults predominate. However, the evidence base for the effectiveness of rehabilitation following acquired brain inju
- Multidisciplinary rehabilitation for adults with multiple sclerosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Nov-2011
Multidisciplinary (MD) rehabilitation is an important component of symptomatic and supportive treatment for Multiple Sclerosis (MS), but evidence base for its effectiveness is yet to be established.
- Multidisciplinary rehabilitation for fibromyalgia and musculoskeletal pain in working age adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jul-1999
Non-malignant musculoskeletal pain is an increasing problem in western countries. Fibromyalgia syndrome is an increasing recognised chronic musculoskeletal disorder.
- Multidisciplinary rehabilitation for follow‐up of women treated for breast cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Dec-2012
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. Multidisciplinary rehabilitation aims to improve outcomes for women but the evidence base for its effectiveness is yet to be established.
- Multidisciplinary rehabilitation for older people with hip fractures
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Nov-2021
Hip fracture is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in older people, and its impact on society is substantial. After surgery, people require rehabilitation to help them recover. Multidisciplinary rehabilitation is where rehabilitation is delivered by
- Multidisciplinary rehabilitation programmes following joint replacement at the hip and knee in chronic arthropathy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Apr-2008
Joint replacements are common procedures and treatment of choice for those with intractable joint pain and disability arising from arthropathy of the hip or knee. Multidisciplinary rehabilitation is considered integral to the outcome of joint replacement.
- Multidisciplinary team interventions for delirium in patients with chronic cognitive impairment
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Nov-2008
Delirium is common in hospitalized elderly people. Delirium may affect 60% of frail elderly people in hospital. Among the cognitively impaired, 45% have been found to develop delirium and these patients have longer lengths of hospital stay and a higher ra
- Multi‐domain interventions for the prevention of dementia and cognitive decline
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Nov-2021
Dementia is a worldwide concern. Its global prevalence is increasing. Currently, no effective medical treatment exists to cure or to delay the onset of cognitive decline or dementia. Up to 40% of dementia is attributable to potentially modifiable risk fac
- Multifactorial and multiple component interventions for preventing falls in older people living in the community
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Jul-2018
Falls and fall-related injuries are common, particularly in those aged over 65, with around one-third of older people living in the community falling at least once a year. Falls prevention interventions may comprise single component interventions (e.g. ex
- Multifocal versus monofocal intraocular lenses after cataract extraction
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Dec-2016
Good unaided distance visual acuity (VA) is now a realistic expectation following cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Near vision, however, still requires additional refractive power, usually in the form of reading glasses. Multiple
- Multimedia educational interventions for consumers about prescribed and over-the-counter medications
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Apr-2013
Health consumers increasingly want access to accurate, evidence-based information about their medications. Currently, education about medications (that is, information that is designed to achieve health or illness related learning) is provided predominant
- Multinutrient fortification of human breast milk for preterm infants following hospital discharge
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Feb-2013
Preterm infants are usually growth restricted at hospital discharge. Feeding preterm infants after hospital discharge with multinutrient fortified breast milk rather than unfortified breast milk may facilitate more rapid catch-up growth and improve neurod
- Multi‐nutrient fortification of human milk for preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Jun-2020
Human breast milk-fed preterm infants can accumulate nutrient deficits leading to extrauterine growth restriction. Feeding preterm infants with multi-nutrient fortified human milk could increase nutrient accretion and growth rates and improve neurodevelop

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Nov-2019
Multiple myeloma is a bone marrow-based hematological malignancy accounting for approximately two per cent of cancers. First-line treatment for transplant-ineligible individuals consists of multiple drug combinations of bortezomib (V), lenalidomide (R), o
- Multiple micronutrient powders for home (point-of-use) fortification of foods in pregnant women
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Jun-2015
It is estimated that 32 million pregnant women suffer from anaemia worldwide. Due to increased metabolic demands, pregnant women are particularly vulnerable to anaemia and vitamin and mineral deficiencies, leading to adverse health effects in both the mot

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Aug-2015
In many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) morbidity and mortality associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have grown exponentially over recent years. It is estimated that about 80% of CVD deaths occur in LMICs. People in LMICs are more expos

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Jan-2013
Multiple risk factor interventions using counselling and educational methods assumed to be efficacious and cost-effective in reducing coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality and morbidity and that they should be expanded. Trials examining risk factor chang
