- Training and supportive programs for palliative care volunteers in community settings

- Training health professionals in smoking cessation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Dec-2013
Cigarette smoking is one of the leading causes of preventable death world wide. There is good evidence that brief interventions from health professionals can increase smoking cessation attempts. A number of trials have examined whether skills training for
- Training to recognise the early signs of recurrence in schizophrenia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Jan-2013
Schizophrenia has a lifetime prevalence of less than one per cent. Studies have indicated that early symptoms that are idiosyncratic to the person with schizophrenia (early warning signs) often precede acute psychotic relapse. Early warning signs interven
- Tramadol for neuropathic pain
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Feb-2009
Peripheral neuropathic pains often include symptoms such as burning or shooting sensations, abnormal sensitivity to normally painless stimuli, or an increased sensitivity to normally painful stimuli. Neuropathic pain is a common symptom in many diseases o
- Tramadol for osteoarthritis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-May-2015
Tramadol is increasingly used for the treatment of osteoarthritis because, in contrast to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), tramadol does not produce gastrointestinal bleeding or renal problems, and does not affect articular cartilage.
- Tramadol for postoperative pain treatment in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Mar-2015
According to current recommendations a multimodal approach is believed to be the gold standard for postoperative pain treatment in children. However, several surveys in the last few years demonstrated that postoperative pain in children is still a serious
- Tranexamic acid for preventing postpartum haemorrhage
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Jun-2015
Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a common and potentially life-threatening complication of labour. Several options for preventing PPH are available, but further advances in this field are important, especially the identification of safe, easy to use and co
- Tranexamic acid for reducing mortality in emergency and urgent surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Feb-2013
Emergency or urgent surgery, which can be defined as surgery which must be done promptly to save life, limb or functional capacity, is associated with a high risk of bleeding and death. Antifibrinolytic agents, such as tranexamic acid, inhibit blood clot
- Tranexamic acid for upper gastrointestinal bleeding
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Nov-2014
Tranexamic acid reduces haemorrhage through its antifibrinolytic effects. In a previous version of the present review, we found that tranexamic acid may reduce mortality. This review includes updated searches and new trials.
- Transabdominal amnioinfusion for improving fetal outcomes after oligohydramnios secondary to preterm prelabour rupture of membranes before 26 weeks
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Jul-2013
Preterm prelabour rupture of membranes (PPROM) before 26 weeks can delay lung development and can cause pulmonary hypoplasia, as a result of oligohydramnios. Restoring the amniotic fluid volume by transabdominal amnioinfusion might prevent abnormal lung d
- Transabdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) vs totally extraperitoneal (TEP) laparoscopic techniques for inguinal hernia repair.
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Aug-2008
The choice of approach to the laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia is controversial. There is a scarcity of data comparing the laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) approach with the laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal (TEP) approach and que
- Transarterial (chemo)embolisation for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Jun-2012
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) results in more than 600,000 deaths per year. Transarterial embolisation (TAE) and transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE) have become standard loco-regional treatments for unresectable HCC.
- Transarterial (chemo)embolisation versus no intervention or placebo intervention for liver metastases
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Mar-2013
Primary liver tumours and liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma are the two most common malignant tumours to affect the liver. The liver is second only to the lymph nodes as the most common site for metastatic disease. More than half of the patients
- Transcendental meditation for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Nov-2014
A major determinant in cardiovascular disease (CVD) is stress. As transcendental meditation (TM) is thought to help in lowering negative stress indicators, it may be a beneficial strategy for the primary prevention of CVD.
- Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for improving activities of daily living, and physical and cognitive functioning, in people after stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Nov-2020
Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. Functional impairment, resulting in poor performance in activities of daily living (ADL) among stroke survivors is common. Current rehabilitation approaches have limited effectiveness in improvi

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Apr-2015
Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide and aphasia among survivors is common. Current speech and language therapy (SLT) strategies have only limited effectiveness in improving aphasia. A possible adjunct to SLT for improving SLT outco
- Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for schizophrenia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Aug-2015
