- Oxcarbazepine versus carbamazepine monotherapy for partial onset seizures
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Oct-2009
Partial onset seizures are often treated with the standard antiepileptic drug carbamazepine. Oxcarbazepine is a newer antiepileptic drug related to carbamazepine that is claimed to be better tolerated.

- Oximes for acute organophosphate pesticide poisoning
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Feb-2011
Acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning causes tens of thousands of deaths each year across the developing world. Standard treatment involves administration of intravenous atropine and oxime to reactivate inhibited acetylcholinesterase. The clinical us
- Oxycodone for cancer‐related pain
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Jun-2022
Many people with cancer experience moderate to severe pain that requires treatment with strong opioids, such as oxycodone and morphine. Strong opioids are, however, not effective for pain in all people, neither are they well tolerated by all people. The a
- Oxycodone for neuropathic pain in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Jul-2016
This is an update of an earlier review that considered both neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia (Issue 6, 2014), which has now been split into separate reviews for the two conditions. This review considers neuropathic pain only.
- Oxycodone for pain in fibromyalgia in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Sep-2016
This review replaces part of an earlier review that evaluated oxycodone for both neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia, which has now been split into separate reviews for the two conditions. This review will consider pain in fibromyalgia only.
- Oxygen for breathlessness in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who do not qualify for home oxygen therapy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Nov-2016
Breathlessness is a cardinal symptom of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) is given to improve survival time in people with COPD and severe chronic hypoxaemia at rest. The efficacy of oxygen therapy for breathles
- Oxygen targets in the intensive care unit during mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory distress syndrome: a rapid review
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Sep-2020
Supplemental oxygen is frequently administered to patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), including ARDS secondary to viral illness such as coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19). An up-to-date understanding of how best to target this therapy
- Oxygen therapy during exercise training in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Jun-2009
Exercise training within the context of pulmonary rehabilitation improves outcomes of exercise capacity, dyspnea and health-related quality of life in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Supplemental oxygen in comparison to plac
- Oxygen therapy for acute myocardial infarction
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Dec-2016
Oxygen (O2) is widely used in people with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Previous systematic reviews concluded that there was insufficient evidence to know whether oxygen reduced, increased or had no effect on heart ischaemia or infarct size. Our firs
- Oxygen therapy for cystic fibrosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Jul-2013
The most serious complications of cystic fibrosis (CF) relate to respiratory insufficiency. Oxygen supplementation therapy has long been a standard of care for individuals with chronic lung diseases associated with hypoxemia. Physicians commonly prescribe
- Oxygen therapy for dyspnoea in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Nov-2013
Dyspnoea, or distressing breathing, is often a severe subjective symptom in terminal illness and may be difficult to control. Oxygen therapy is currently one of the interventions used to treat it. This review aimed to identify all randomised controlled st
- Oxygen therapy for lower respiratory tract infections in children between 3 months and 15 years of age
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Dec-2014
