Efficacy of different types of cognitive enhancers for patients with schizophrenia: a meta-analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Cognitive impairment is a core feature of schizophrenia, which is predictive for functional outcomes and is, therefore, a treatment target in itself. Yet, literature on efficacy of different pharmaco-therapeutic options ... -
Efficacy of early diagnosis and treatment in women with a family history of breast cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 1999)BACKGROUND: Surveillance programmes for women at increased genetic risk of breast cancer are being established worldwide but little is known of their efficacy in early detection of cancers and hence reduction in mortality. ... -
Efficacy of faecal microbiota transplantation for patients with irritable bowel syndrome in a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Objective: Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from healthy donors to patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has been attempted in two previous double-blind, placebo-controlled studies. While one of those studies ... -
Efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation for patients with irritable bowel syndrome at 3 years after transplantation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background & Aims: The long-term efficacy and possible adverse events of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are unknown. This study performed a 3-year follow-up of the patients in our ... -
The efficacy of integrated hepatitis C virus treatment in relieving fatigue in people who inject drugs: a randomized controlled trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Most people who inject drugs (PWIDs) suffer from severe fatigue, and chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection may play a role in this. However, there is scarce evidence about interventions that alleviate ... -
Efficacy of Low-Level Laser Therapy in chronic Temporomandibular Disorders: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized placebo-controlled trials
(Master thesis, 2022-11-18)Hensikt: Temporomandibulær dysfunksjon (TMD) rapporteres med tilsvarende prevalens som fibromyalgi, korsryggsmerter og migrene. Inflammasjon spiller en viktig rolle i patogenesen og opprettholdelsen av sykdommen. Low-level ... -
Efficacy of low-level laser therapy in patients with lower extremity tendinopathy or plantar fasciitis: systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Objectives We investigated the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in lower extremity tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis on patient-reported pain and disability. Design Systematic review and meta-analysis. Data ... -
Efficacy of low-level laser therapy on pain and disability in knee osteoarthritis: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised placebo-controlled trials
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Objectives: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is not recommended in major knee osteoarthritis (KOA) treatment guidelines. We investigated whether a LLLT dose–response relationship exists in KOA. Design: Systematic review ... -
Efficacy of mobilisation with movement in chronic shoulder pain: protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis of controlled trials
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Introduction Shoulder pain affects approximately one in four adults and is thus one of the most common musculoskeletal problems. Only 50% of patients who begin treatment for shoulder pain are cured within 6 months. There ... -
Efficacy of neuroscience education (NE) in patients undergoing spinal surgery
(Master thesis, 2014-11-07)Background: One in four patients with radiculopathy experience persistent pain and disability after lumbar surgery. Postoperative rehabilitation for lumbar radiculopathy has shown little effect on reducing pain and disability. ... -
Efficacy of pain treatment on mood syndrome in patients with dementia: a randomized clinical trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-08)Background: Depression is common in nursing home (NH) patients with dementia, and often clustered with anxiety and other mood symptoms. An association between pain and depressive symptoms has been reported, but the impact ... -
Efficacy of processed amaranth-containing bread compared to maize bread on hemoglobin, anemia and iron deficiency anemia prevalence among two-to-five yearold anemic children in Southern Ethiopia: A cluster randomized controlled trial
(Journal article, 2020-09-28)Background: Few studies have evaluated iron-rich plant-based foods, such as amaranth grain, to reduce anemia and iron deficiency anemia. Amaranth is rich in nutrients, but with high level of phytate. The objective of this ... -
Efficacy of treating segmental bone defects through endochondral ossification: 3D printed designs and bone metabolic activities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Three-dimensional printing (3D printing) is a promising technique for producing scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications. Porous scaffolds can be printed directly, and the design, shape and porosity can be ... -
