Vestibular migraine is a common cause of episodic vertigo. Many preventive treatments have been proposed for this condition, including calcium antagonists, beta-blockers, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, selective 5-HT1 agonists, serotonin antagonists an
- Pharmacological and mechanical interventions for labour induction in outpatient settings
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Sep-2017
Induction of labour is carried out for a variety of indications and using a range of methods. For women at low risk of pregnancy complications, some methods of induction of labour or cervical ripening may be suitable for use in outpatient settings.
- Pharmacological and non‐pharmacological interventions for reducing rocuronium bromide induced pain on injection in children and adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Feb-2016
Rocuronium bromide is a routinely used muscle relaxant in anaesthetic practice. Its use, however, is associated with intense pain on injection. While it is well established that rocuronium bromide injection causes pain in awake patients, anaesthetized pat
- Pharmacological and non‐pharmacological strategies for obese women with subfertility
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Mar-2021
Clinicians primarily recommend weight loss for obese women seeking pregnancy. The effectiveness of interventions aimed at weight loss in obese women with subfertility is unclear.
- Pharmacological and nutritional treatment for McArdle disease (Glycogen Storage Disease type V)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Nov-2014
McArdle disease (Glycogen Storage Disease type V) is caused by an absence of muscle phosphorylase leading to exercise intolerance, myoglobinuria rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure. This is an update of a review first published in 2004.
- Pharmacological and surgical interventions for the treatment of gastro‐oesophageal reflux in adults and children with asthma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-May-2021
Asthma and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) are common medical conditions that frequently co-exist. GORD has been postulated as a trigger for asthma; however, evidence remains conflicting. Proposed mechanisms by which GORD causes asthma include di

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Nov-2017
Atrial fibrillation is the commonest cardiac dysrhythmia. It is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. There are two approaches to the management of atrial fibrillation: controlling the ventricular rate or converting to sinus rhythm in the e
- Pharmacological interventions for acute hepatitis B infection
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Mar-2017
Infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) can be symptomatic or asymptomatic. Apart from chronic HBV infection, the complications related to acute HBV infection are severe acute viral hepatitis and fulminant hepatitis characterised by liver failure. The opti
- Pharmacological interventions for acute hepatitis C infection
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Dec-2018
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a single-stranded RNA (ribonucleic acid) virus that has the potential to cause inflammation of the liver. The traditional definition of acute HCV infection is the first six months following infection with the virus. Another comm

- Pharmacological interventions for benzodiazepine discontinuation in chronic benzodiazepine users
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Mar-2018
Prolonged treatment with benzodiazepines is common practice despite clinical recommendations of short-term use. Benzodiazepines are used by approximately 4% of the general population, with increased prevalence in psychiatric populations and the elderly. A
- Pharmacological interventions for benzodiazepine mono-dependence management in outpatient settings
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jun-2013
The items with X are considered "more relevant", that is the review has to stick to them to allow publication. The others have to be considered as strong suggestions to improve the readability and clarity of the review, but the reviewers can consider if
