- Transcranial magnetic stimulation for the treatment of epilepsy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Apr-2021
Epilepsy is a highly prevalent neurological condition characterised by repeated unprovoked seizures with various aetiologies. Although antiepileptic medications produce clinical improvement in many individuals, nearly a third of individuals have drug-resi
- Transcranial magnetic stimulation for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Nov-2008
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was introduced as a neurophysiological technique in 1985 when Anthony Barker and his team developed a compact machine that permitted non-invasive stimulation of the cerebral cortex (Barker 1985). Since its introduct
- Transcranial magnetic stimulation for treating depression
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Nov-2008
Transcranial magnetic stimulation can either excite or inhibit cortical areas of the brain, depending on whether the speed of the repetitive stimulation is applied at high or low frequencies. It has been used for physiological studies and it has also been
- Transcutaneous carbon dioxide monitoring for the prevention of neonatal morbidity and mortality
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Feb-2016
Carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement is a fundamental evaluation in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), as both low and high values of CO2 might have detrimental effects on neonatal morbidity and mortality. Though measurement of CO2 in the arterial blood g
- Transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) for cancer pain in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Apr-2015
Cancer-related pain is complex and multi-dimensional but the mainstay of cancer pain management has predominantly used a biomedical approach. There is a need for non-pharmacological and innovative approaches. Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation (TEN
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for chronic pain
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Jul-2014
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a popular pain treatment modality but its effectiveness in chronic pain management is unknown. This review is an update of the original Cochrane review published in Issue 3, 2001.
- Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) for dementia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Nov-2008
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is the application of an electrical current through electrodes attached to the skin. The commonest clinical application of TENS is pain control. TENS is also used occasionally for the treatment of a range
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for pain management in labour
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Aug-2011
Transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TENS) has been proposed as a means of reducing pain in labour. The TENS unit emits low-voltage electrical impulses which vary in frequency and intensity. During labour, TENS electrodes are generally placed on the lower ba
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for phantom pain and stump pain following amputation in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Aug-2015
This is the first update of a Cochrane review published in Issue 5, 2010 on transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for phantom pain and stump pain following amputation in adults. Pain may present in a body part that has been amputated (phantom
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in the hand
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-May-2010
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, inflammatory, system disease. It commonly affects the small peripheral joints (such as fingers and wrist). The main goals of intervention for RA are preventing joint deformity, preserving joint function, and reducin
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) versus placebo for chronic low-back pain
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Apr-2013
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) was introduced more than 30 years ago as a therapeutic adjunct to the pharmacological management of pain. However, despite widespread use, its effectiveness in chronic low-back pain (LBP) is still controv
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and acupuncture-like transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for chronic low back pain
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Jul-2008
In view of the claims and counter-claims of the effectiveness of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, it would seem appropriate to systematically review the literature.
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for acute pain
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Jun-2015
This is a second update of a Cochrane Review originally published in Issue 2, 2009. Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a non-pharmacological agent, based on delivering low voltage electrical currents to the skin. TENS is used by people
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for primary dysmenorrhoea
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Aug-2009
Medical therapy for dysmenorrhoea (painful menstrual cramps of the uterus) such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or the oral contraceptive pill work by reducing myometrial (uterine muscle) activity. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TEN
- Transcutaneous electrostimulation for osteoarthritis of the knee
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Nov-2009
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of joint disease and the leading cause of pain and physical disability in the elderly. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), interferential current stimulation and pulsed electrostimulation are used wid
- Transcutaneous electrostimulation for suspected placental insufficiency (diagnosed by Doppler studies)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Aug-2009
Transcutaneous electrostimulation is thought to be able to improve blood flow and so it has been suggested that it may help to promote fetal growth.
- Transdermal fentanyl for cancer pain
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Oct-2013
Opioid drugs have been used for many years to relieve pain. Transdermal fentanyl offers one option for delivering and maintaining pain relief in patients with moderate or severe cancer pain.
- Transdermal nicotine for induction of remission in ulcerative colitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jun-2008
Ulcerative colitis is largely a disease of nonsmokers. Intermittent smokers often experience improvement in their symptoms while smoking. Nonsmokers with ulcerative colitis who begin smoking may go into remission. Randomized controlled trials were develop
- Transepithelial versus epithelium‐off corneal crosslinking for progressive keratoconus
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Mar-2021
Keratoconus is the most common corneal dystrophy. It can cause loss of uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuity through ectasia (thinning) of the central or paracentral cornea, irregular corneal scarring, or corneal perforation. Disease onset usually
- Transfer of preterm infants from incubator to open cot at lower versus higher body weight
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Dec-2011
A key criterion for discharging preterm infants home from nurseries is their ability to maintain temperature once transferred from incubators to open cots. The timing of transfer is important given the preterm infant's immature thermoregulatory mechanisms
