- Corticosteroid injections for shoulder pain
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2003
While many treatments, including corticosteroid injections in and around the shoulder, are advocated to be of benefit for shoulder pain, few are of proven efficacy. This review of corticosteroid injections for shoulder pain is one in a series of reviews o - Corticosteroid regimens for treatment of acute and chronic graft versus host disease (GvHD) after allogenic stem cell transplantation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2010
Corticosteroids are commonly used in treatment of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). Nevertheless, there has been no systematic analysis of effects of their use on the patients' survival and quality of life. - Corticosteroid therapy for nephrotic syndrome in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-Aug-2020
In nephrotic syndrome protein leaks from blood into the urine through the glomeruli resulting in hypoproteinaemia and generalised oedema. While most children with nephrotic syndrome respond to corticosteroids, 80% experience a relapsing course. Corticoste - Corticosteroids as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of influenza
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Feb-2019
Specific treatments for influenza are limited to neuraminidase inhibitors and adamantanes. Corticosteroids show evidence of benefit in sepsis and related conditions, most likely due to their anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. Although comm - Corticosteroids as adjuvant therapy for ocular toxoplasmosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jan-2017
Ocular infection caused by Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite, may result in inflammation in the retina, choroid, and uvea, and consequently lead to complications such as glaucoma, cataract, and posterior synechiae. - Corticosteroids as adjuvant to antiviral treatment in Ramsay Hunt syndrome (herpes zoster oticus with facial palsy) in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-Nov-2008
Inflammation and oedema of the facial nerve due to viral infection by the herpes zoster virus are implicated in the aetiology and clinical manifestation of Ramsay Hunt syndrome (herpes zoster oticus with facial palsy). Corticosteroids, with their powerful - Corticosteroids as standalone or add‐on treatment for sore throat
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-May-2020
Sore throat is a common condition associated with a high rate of antibiotic prescriptions, despite limited evidence for the effectiveness of antibiotics. Corticosteroids may improve symptoms of sore throat by reducing inflammation of the upper respiratory - Corticosteroids for acute bacterial meningitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Sep-2015
In experimental studies, the outcome of bacterial meningitis has been related to the severity of inflammation in the subarachnoid space. Corticosteroids reduce this inflammatory response. - Corticosteroids for acute ischaemic stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Sep-2011
The majority of strokes are due to cerebral infarction. Ischaemic cerebral tissue tends to develop cytotoxic oedema which, if the blood-brain barrier is disrupted, may be followed by vasogenic oedema. Large infarcts can develop life-threatening massive oe - Corticosteroids for acute severe asthma in hospitalised patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Jan-2001
Corticosteroids are currently used routinely in the management of acute severe asthma. The optimal dose and route of administration continues to be debated. Some investigators have reported a greater benefit of higher doses of corticosteroids in the manag - Corticosteroids for acute traumatic brain injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Jan-2005
Traumatic brain injury is a leading cause of death and disability. Corticosteroids have been widely used in treating people with traumatic brain injury. - Corticosteroids for adult patients with advanced cancer who have nausea and vomiting (not related to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Jul-2017
Nausea is a common symptom in advanced cancer, with a prevalence of up to 70%. While nausea and vomiting can be related to cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery, a significant number of people with advanced cancer also suffer f - Corticosteroids for aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage and primary intracerebral haemorrhage
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Aug-2008
Corticosteroids, particularly dexamethasone, are commonly used for treatments in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and primary intracerebral haemorrhage (PICH) despite the lack of evidence. - Corticosteroids for Bell's palsy (idiopathic facial paralysis)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jul-2016
Inflammation and oedema of the facial nerve are implicated in causing Bell's palsy. Corticosteroids have a potent anti-inflammatory action that should minimise nerve damage. This is an update of a review first published in 2002 and last updated in 2010. - Corticosteroids for cervical ripening and induction of labour
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Apr-2006
The role of corticosteroids in the process of labour is not well understood. Animal studies have shown the importance of cortisol secretion by the fetal adrenal gland in initiating labour in sheep. Infusion of glucocorticosteroids into the fetus has also - Corticosteroids for chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Nov-2017
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is a progressive or relapsing and remitting paralysing illness, probably due to an autoimmune response, which should benefit from corticosteroid treatment. Non-randomised studies suggest tha - Corticosteroids for dengue infection
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Jun-2014
Dengue is a common and important mosquito-borne viral infection. In many low- and middle-income countries it is endemic and is an important public health problem. Severe dengue is an important cause of death in children. There is no specific treatment for - Corticosteroids for Guillain‐Barré syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Oct-2016
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute paralysing disease caused by inflammation of the peripheral nerves, which corticosteroids would be expected to benefit. - Corticosteroids for HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets) syndrome in pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Jul-2010
Pre-eclampsia is a relatively common complication of pregnancy. HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets) syndrome is a severe manifestation of pre-eclampsia with significant morbidity and mortality for pregnant women and their children. Co - Corticosteroids for HELLP syndrome in pregnancy
