Reasearch & Evidence
Last reviewed: 13 August 2025
How we choose evidence
​
We prioritise peer-reviewed studies (systematic reviews, RCTs, prospective cohorts) and reputable databases (PubMed/PMC). Findings below describe symptom and quality-of-life improvements reported in studies, alongside limits (sample sizes, heterogeneity). Treatment decisions remain individual and should involve your healthcare professional.
