- Topiramate for the prophylaxis of episodic migraine in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-May-2014
Some antiepileptic drugs but not others are useful in clinical practice for the prophylaxis of migraine. This might be explained by the variety of actions of these drugs in the central nervous system. The present review is part of an update of a Cochrane
- Topiramate monotherapy for juvenile myoclonic epilepsy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Dec-2015
Topiramate is a newer broad-spectrum of antiepileptic drug (AED). Some studies have shown the benefits of topiramate monotherapy in the treatment of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME). However, there are no current systematic reviews to determine the effic
- Topotecan for ovarian cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-May-2010
Chemotherapeutic agents such as topotecan can be used to treat ovarian cancer. The effects of using topotecan as a therapeutic agent have not been previously been systematically reviewed.
- Toremifene versus tamoxifen for advanced breast cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Jun-2012
Toremifene (TOR) and tamoxifen (TAM) can both be used as treatments for advanced breast cancer.
- Total disc replacement for chronic back pain in the presence of disc degeneration
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Jan-2013
In the search for better surgical treatment of chronic low-back pain (LBP) in the presence of disc degeneration, total disc replacement has received increasing attention in recent years. A possible advantage of total disc replacement compared with fusion
- Total or near‐total thyroidectomy versus subtotal thyroidectomy for multinodular non‐toxic goitre in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Aug-2015
Total thyroidectomy (TT) and subtotal thyroidectomy (ST) are worldwide treatment options for multinodular non-toxic goitre in adults. Near TT, defined as a postoperative thyroid remnant less than 1 mL, is supposed to be a similarly effective but safer opt
- Total versus subtotal hysterectomy for benign gynaecological conditions
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Mar-2012
Hysterectomy using an abdominal approach removes either the uterus alone (subtotal hysterectomy) or both the uterus and the cervix (total hysterectomy). The latter is more common but the outcomes have not been systematically compared.
- Totally implantable vascular access devices for cystic fibrosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Apr-2012
Totally implantable vascular access devices are widely used in people with cystic fibrosis to provide intermittent venous access for therapeutic infusions. Their use is associated with some complications such as thrombosis, embolism and infection.
- Totally percutaneous versus standard femoral artery access for elective bifurcated abdominal endovascular aneurysm repair
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Feb-2014
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are a vascular condition with significant risk attached, particularly if they rupture. It is, therefore, critical to identify and repair these as an elective procedure before they rupture and require emergency surgery. Re
- Touch therapies for pain relief in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Nov-2013
Pain is a global public health problem affecting the lives of large numbers of patients and their families. Touch therapies (Healing Touch (HT), Therapeutic Touch (TT) and Reiki) have been found to relieve pain, but some reviews have suggested there is in
- TPO receptor agonist for chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-May-2011
Chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an acquired autoimmune disorder that is characterized predominantly by a low platelet count. Thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor agonists increase production of platelets by stimulating the TPO receptor in pe
- Tracheal gas insufflation for the prevention of morbidity and mortality in mechanically ventilated newborn infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Mar-2010
Tracheal gas insufflation (TGI) is a technique where a continuous flow of gas is instilled into the lower trachea during conventional mechanical ventilation. TGI can improve carbon dioxide removal with lower ventilation pressures and smaller tidal volumes
- Tracheal intubation with a flexible intubation scope versus other intubation techniques for obese patients requiring general anaesthesia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Apr-2014
The prevalence of obesity (body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m2) is increasing in both developed and developing countries, leading to a rise in the numbers of obese patients requiring general anaesthesia. Obese patients are at increased risk of anaesthetic co
- Tracheal suction at birth in non‐vigorous neonates born through meconium‐stained amniotic fluid
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Jun-2021
Neonates born through meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) are at risk of developing meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS). Neonates who are non-vigorous due to intrapartum asphyxia are at higher risk of developing MAS. Clearance of meconium from the airwa
- Tracheal suctioning without disconnection in intubated ventilated neonates
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Apr-2012
Assisted mechanical ventilation is a necessity in the neonatal population for a variety of respiratory and surgical conditions. However, there are a number of potential hazards associated with this life saving intervention. New suctioning techniques have
- Traction for low-back pain with or without sciatica
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Jul-2013
Traction has been used to treat low-back pain (LBP), often in combination with other treatments. We included both manual and machine-delivered traction in this review. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 1995, and previously updated
- Traditional birth attendant training for improving health behaviours and pregnancy outcomes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Jul-2012
Between the 1970s and 1990s, the World Health Organization promoted traditional birth attendant (TBA) training as one strategy to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality. To date, evidence in support of TBA training is limited but promising for some mortal
- Traditional Chinese herbal products for stable angina
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Mar-2013
Stable angina pectoris is a common condition, worldwide. Traditional Chinese herbal products (TCHP) are developed for treating stable angina pectoris in China.
- Traditional Chinese medicinal herbs for the treatment of idiopathic chronic fatigue and chronic fatigue syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Aug-2009
Chronic fatigue is increasingly common. Conventional medical care is limited in treating chronic fatigue, leading some patients to use traditional Chinese medicine therapies, including herbal medicine.
- Traditional Chinese medicine for epilepsy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Mar-2014
Seizures are poorly controlled in many people with epilepsy, despite current antiepileptic treatments. Some turn to alternative or complementary therapy to treat their condition and the use of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs (TCMH) is increasingly pop
