Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jul-2007
Implantable methods of contraception offer long-acting reversible contraception. Their uptake rate in comparison to other contraceptive methods, particularly in developed countries, has historically been low.
- Subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery (SEPS) for treating venous leg ulcers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Mar-2019
Venous leg ulcers are complex, costly, and their prevalence is expected to increase as populations age. Venous congestion is a possible cause of venous leg ulcers, which subfascial endoscopic perforator surgery (SEPS) attempts to address by removing the c

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Nov-2016
In recent years subintimal angioplasty (SIA) has become an established percutaneous procedure for the treatment of symptomatic lower limb arterial chronic total occlusions. However, the clinical benefits of this practice remain unclear. The aim of the rev

- Sublingual immunotherapy for asthma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Sep-2020
Asthma is a common long-term respiratory disease affecting approximately 300 million people worldwide. Approximately half of people with asthma have an important allergic component to their disease, which may provide an opportunity for targeted treatment.
- Sublingual immunotherapy for treating allergic conjunctivitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Jun-2011
Allergic ocular symptoms, although frequently trivialised, are common and represent an important comorbidity of allergic rhinitis. Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for allergic rhinitis, but its effects on sympt

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Apr-2009
Vitreoretinal surgeons proposed submacular surgery to remove the fibrovascular tissue causing damage to the centre of the retina, in the attempt to limit central visual loss in people affected by neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
- Subpial transection surgery for epilepsy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Nov-2018
Nearly 30% of patients with epilepsy continue to have seizures despite using several antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Such patients are regarded as having refractory, or uncontrolled, epilepsy. While there is no universally accepted definition of uncontrolled,
- Subsidising artemisinin‐based combination therapy in the private retail sector
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Mar-2016
Malaria causes ill health and death in Africa. Treating illness promptly with artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) is likely to cure people and avoid the disease progressing to more severe forms and death. In many countries, ACT use remains low. Pa
- Sub-Tenon's anaesthesia versus topical anaesthesia for cataract surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Aug-2015
Local anaesthesia for cataract surgery can be provided by sub-Tenon's or topical anaesthesia. Both techniques offer possible advantages. This review, which originally was published in 2007 and was updated in 2014, was undertaken to compare these two anaes

- Sulfasalazine for ankylosing spondylitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Nov-2014
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown cause and affects mainly the spine, but can also affect other joints. Disease progression may result in loss of mobility and function. Sulfasalazine is a disease-modifying antirheuma
