Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how psychological interventions can help patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) by reducing negative emotions and enhancing their quality of life, providing evidence for clinical practices.
- Researchers conducted a thorough search of multiple databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to psychological interventions for HNC patients, ultimately analyzing 18 trials with 2,097 participants using specific statistical methods.
- Findings revealed that those receiving psychological interventions experienced significant reductions in anxiety and depression, along with improvements in quality of life, but the authors noted that the quality of the included studies varied and further research is needed to confirm these results.
Background: Both coil embolization (CE) and flow-diverting device (FDD) placement are widely used for treatment of intracranial aneurysms (IAs). The aim of this meta-analysis is to compare the relative clinical safety and efficacy of FDD and CE for the treatment of unruptured IAs.
Methods: The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for relevant studies from the date of inception through April 2020.
