What to use instead of NICE Evidence Search - some recommendations (sort of)
In an earlier post I searched NICE Evidence Search (closing at the end of March 2022) and then a number of other sources to see which other sources would find the material.I found 27 results (vertigo epley was the search) in NICE Evidence Search. 5 were systematic reviews from DARE, which I decided I was not too worried about, as DARE has not been updated for some timeThen there were results from PubMed, Cochrane, BestBets, CKS, four health organisations, Patient.info, NICE and the Royal Australian College of GPs.SearchingCochraneitself found one more Cochrane review than NICE Evidence Search did. So, more...

What to use instead of NICE Evidence Search - a first thought
I have been promoting NICE Evidence Search much more systematically this year to " my " first year undergraduates in their first library session. It is also on the resource lists I ' ve made for each of their courses. I like the idea that there is one source, where all the results have been evaluated by health information professionals, and I ' ve suggested it ' s a good first place to search for any health topic. But NICE Evidence Search is closing at the end of March 2022. So what to use instead?NICE Evidence Search has two lists of sources, one of sites where some of the content is...

What Searches Do Users Run on PEDro? An Analysis of 893,971 Search Commands Over a 6-Month Period.
CONCLUSIONS: PEDro is a commonly used evidence resource, but searching appears to be sub-optimal in many cases. The effectiveness of searches conducted by users needs to improve, which could be facilitated by methods such as targeted training and amending the search interface.

Balneotherapy for chronic venous insufficiency
CONCLUSIONS: For the comparison balneotherapy versus no treatment, we identified moderate-certainty evidence that the intervention improves disease severity signs and symptoms scores slightly, low-certainty evidence that it improves pain and skin pigmentation changes, and very low-certainty evidence that it improves HRQoL. Balneotherapy compared with no treatment made little or no difference to adverse effects, oedema or incidence of leg ulcers. Evidence comparing balneotherapy with other interventions was very limited. To ensure adequate comparison between trials, future trials should standardise measurements of outcomes ...

Conventional chest physiotherapy compared to other airway clearance techniques for cystic fibrosis
CONCLUSIONS: We are uncertain whether CCPT has a more positive impact on respiratory function, respiratory exacerbations, individual preference, adherence, quality of life, exercise capacity and other outcomes when compared to alternative ACTs as the certainty of the evidence is very low. There was no advantage in respiratory function of CCPT over alternative ACTs, but this may reflect insufficient evidence rather than real equivalence. Narrative reports indicated that participants prefer self-administered ACTs. This review is limited by a paucity of well-designed, adequately powered, long-term studies. This review cannot ...

Efficacy and Safety of Needle Acupuncture for Treating Gynecologic and Obstetric Disorders: An Overview.
Conclusions: Evidence for the efficacy of needle acupuncture for treating the disorders evaluated remains inconclusive. The intervention showed promising results for reducing pelvic and back pain during pregnancy and climacteric vasomotor symptoms, although well-designed studies are needed to make the results more precise and reliable.

Experiences and perceptions of adults pre- and/or post-lumbar spine surgery: a meta-ethnography
CONCLUSIONS: These findings emphasize the complexity of the peri-operative experience for individuals undergoing lumbar spine surgery. Future research should focus on addressing psychosocial factors that may optimize patient experiences and recovery following LSS.PMID:37475154 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2233895
