- Tranexamic acid for the reduction of bleeding during functional endoscopic sinus surgery
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Feb-2023
Chronic rhinosinusitis, with or without nasal polyps, can have a major impact on a person's quality of life. Treatment is usually conservative and may include nasal saline, intranasal corticosteroids, antibiotics or systemic corticosteroids. If these trea
- Tranexamic acid for upper gastrointestinal bleeding
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-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, 24-Jan-2005
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
- Transabdominal ultrasound and endoscopic ultrasound for diagnosis of gallbladder polyps
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Aug-2018
Approximately 0.6% to 4% of cholecystectomies are performed because of gallbladder polyps. The decision to perform cholecystectomy is based on presence of gallbladder polyp(s) on transabdominal ultrasound (TAUS) or endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), or both. Th
- 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 for liver metastases
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Mar-2020
The liver is affected by two of the most common groups of malignant tumours: primary liver tumours and liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma or other extrahepatic primary cancers. Liver metastases are significantly more common than primary liver canc
- Transcatheter aortic valve implantation versus surgical aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis in people with low surgical risk
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Dec-2019
Severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The definitive management for severe AS is aortic valve replacement (AVR). The choice of transcatheter approach versus open-heart surgery for AVR in people with sever
- Transcatheter arterial chemoembolisation followed by three‐dimensional conformal radiotherapy versus transcatheter arterial chemoembolisation alone for primary hepatocellular carcinoma in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Feb-2019
Hepatocellular carcinoma, also called malignant hepatoma, is a primary malignancy of the liver. Despite regular surveillance conducted in high-risk populations, most people with hepatocellular carcinoma are diagnosed at an advanced stage. Consequently, on
- Transcendental meditation for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Jun-2019
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 idiopathic Parkinson's disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jul-2016
Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, with the severity of the disability usually increasing with disease duration. IPD affects patients' health-related quality of life, disability, and impairment. Current rehabilitation ap
- 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
- Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for improving aphasia in adults with aphasia after stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-May-2019
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 Doppler sonography for detecting stenosis or occlusion of intracranial arteries in people with acute ischaemic stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Feb-2020
An occlusion or stenosis of intracranial large arteries can be detected in the acute phase of ischaemic stroke in about 42% of patients. The approved therapies for acute ischaemic stroke are thrombolysis with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen act
- Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for schizophrenia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Aug-2015
People with schizophrenia often experience symptoms which fail to fully respond to antipsychotic medication. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been proposed as a new treatment for people with schizophrenia, especially those who experience persis
- 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, 22-Apr-2003
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, 22-Apr-2002
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, 13-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, 14-Mar-2012
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
