- Physical exercise training interventions for children and young adults during and after treatment for childhood cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Mar-2016
A decreased physical fitness has been reported in patients and survivors of childhood cancer. This is influenced by the negative effects of the disease and the treatment of childhood cancer. Exercise training for adult cancer patients has frequently been
- Physical fitness training for stroke patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Mar-2020
Levels of physical activity and physical fitness are low after stroke. Interventions to increase physical fitness could reduce mortality and reduce disability through increased function.
- Physical health care monitoring for people with serious mental illness
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jan-2014
Current guidance suggests that we should monitor the physical health of people with serious mental illness, and there has been a significant financial investment over recent years to provide this.
- Physical interventions to interrupt or reduce the spread of respiratory viruses
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Jan-2023
Viral epidemics or pandemics of acute respiratory infections (ARIs) pose a global threat. Examples are influenza (H1N1) caused by the H1N1pdm09 virus in 2009, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003, and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused
- Physical medicine modalities for mechanical neck disorders

- Physical methods versus drug placebo or no treatment for managing fever in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Feb-2009
Health workers recommend bathing, sponging, and other physical methods to treat fever in children and to avoid febrile convulsions. We know little about the most effective methods or how these methods compare with commonly used drugs.
- Physical rehabilitation approaches for the recovery of function and mobility following stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Apr-2014
Various approaches to physical rehabilitation may be used after stroke, and considerable controversy and debate surround the effectiveness of relative approaches. Some physiotherapists base their treatments on a single approach; others use a mixture of co
- Physical rehabilitation for critical illness myopathy and neuropathy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Mar-2015
Intensive care unit (ICU) acquired or generalised weakness due to critical illness myopathy (CIM) and polyneuropathy (CIP) are major causes of chronically impaired motor function that can affect activities of daily living and quality of life. Physical reh
- Physical rehabilitation for older people in long-term care
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Jan-2013
The worldwide population is progressively ageing, with an expected increase in morbidity and demand for long-term care. Physical rehabilitation is beneficial in older people, but relatively little is known about effects on long-term care residents. This i
- Physical tests for shoulder impingements and local lesions of bursa, tendon or labrum that may accompany impingement
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Apr-2013
Impingement is a common cause of shoulder pain. Impingement mechanisms may occur subacromially (under the coraco-acromial arch) or internally (within the shoulder joint), and a number of secondary pathologies may be associated. These include subacromial-s
- Physical therapies for postural abnormalities in people with cystic fibrosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Mar-2020
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common life-threatening, inherited disease in white populations which causes several dysfunctions, including postural abnormalities. Physical therapy may help in some consequences of these postural abnormalities, such as p
- Physical therapies for prevention of urinary and faecal incontinence in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Feb-2009
Physical therapies, particularly pelvic floor muscle training, have been recommended for prevention of incontinence associated with childbearing, and prostate surgery.
- Physical therapies for reducing and controlling lymphoedema of the limbs
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-May-2008
Lymphoedema is the accumulation of excess fluid in the body caused by obstruction of the lymphatic drainage mechanisms. Management involves decongesting the reduced lymphatic pathways in order to reduce the size of the limb. There is a great deal of debat
- Physical therapy for Bell's palsy (idiopathic facial paralysis)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2012
Bell's palsy (idiopathic facial paralysis) is commonly treated by various physical therapy strategies and devices, but there are many questions about their efficacy.

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Aug-2021
Children and adolescents diagnosed with cancer are at high risk of experiencing severe side effects from cancer treatment, many of which are amenable to physical therapy. These side effects can negatively impact a child's quality of life and ability to pa
- Physical training for asthma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Sep-2013
People with asthma may show less tolerance to exercise due to worsening asthma symptoms during exercise or other reasons such as deconditioning as a consequence of inactivity. Some may restrict activities as per medical advice or family influence and this
