		Symptomatic efficacy of avocado/soybean unsaponifiables in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee and hip: a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter clinical trial with a six-month treatment period and a two-month following demonstrating a persistent effect.
		The expression “symptomatic slow-acting drugs in osteoarthritis” (SYSADOAs) was proposed in a paper written in 1994 on behalf of the ILAR committee for clinical studies, which provided specific methodology for testing that class of drugs [ 1 ].
		In 1994, the adjective “symptomatic” was considered mandatory for these drugs, because excessive claims regarding their “chondroprotective” (now “structure modulating” [ 2 ]) virtues were at that time often alleged without evidence.

	Symptomatic Carotid Stenosis
		Three trial regarding the role of carotid endarterectomy in the treatment of patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis were generally in concurrence.
		A European trial of symptomatic patients (ECST) in all subgroups from 0 - 99% stenosis was paralleled by two trials in North America: The North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial (NASCET) and the VA Clinical Studies Program 309.
		A Multidisciplinary Consensus Statement from the American Heart Association concluded that carotid endarterectomy is of proven benefit for symptomatic patients, including those with single or multiple TIAs or those who have suffered a mild stroke within a 6-month interval, who have stenosis of greater than 70% with a surgical risk of less than 6%1.

	Postgraduate Medicine: Carotid endarterectomy
		Carotid endarterectomy is appropriate treatment to reduce the risk of ipsilateral stroke in all patients with symptomatic carotid artery stenosis of 50% to 69% who have had a recent nondisabling hemispheric stroke.
		For both symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis, the surgeon should be experienced in performing carotid endarterectomy and should have surgical outcomes similar to those of the surgeons who participated in the carotid endarterectomy trials.
		All symptomatic patients with moderate carotid artery stenosis who are being considered for surgery should be evaluated by a surgeon who is experienced in performing carotid endarterectomy and who has documented perioperative complication rates similar to those of the surgeons who participated in NASCET and ECST.

	Controversy Continues Over Treating Symptomatic People with Normal TSH Levels / A Look at Weetman's July 2002 Commentary in Clinical Endocrinology - Articles
		Of particular interest was the fact that the symptomatic group responded to placebo better than controls on 3 of 15 psychological measures, versus no improvement in the control group.
		To qualify for the study, the 25 symptomatic patients had to have at least three symptoms from among a list that included: fatigue, lethargy, problems with excess body weight, intolerance to cold, hair loss, dry skin/hair.
		Because, while Weetman may be satisfied that a normal TSH and free T4 rule out hypothyroidism or further treatment, he has overlooked a number of obvious issues that call the study results into question, as well as a number of unresolved questions that are at the real heart of the controversy.

	[Clinical Preventive Services] Screening for Genital Herpes Simplex
		Effect of oral acyclovir treatment on symptomatic and asymptomatic virus shedding in recurrent genital herpes.
		Small, uncontrolled case series of symptomatic women with positive genital cultures during the 1- 2 weeks before delivery49,50 or with positive cervical cultures at the time of delivery51 suggest a protective effect of cesarean deliveries; no controlled trials have evaluated this intervention.
		An estimated 35-80% of infants with neonatal herpes are born to women with no known history of genital herpes or physical signs of infection at delivery.10,12,13 Therefore, screening asymptomatic pregnant women has the potential of identifying unrecognized active HSV infections.

	Surgical versus medical treatment with cyclooxygenase inhibitors for symptomatic patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants
		Also, early symptomatic treatment of PDA (i.e when clinical signs first appear) has been shown to decrease the incidence of chronic lung disease, duration of mechanical ventilation and necrotizing enterocolitis when compared with those receiving late symptomatic treatment (i.e after signs of congestive cardiac failure) ( Clyman 1996).
		The reviewers were surprised at the paucity of trials comparing surgical versus medical treatment with cyclooxygenase inhibitors for symptomatic PDA in preterm infants.
		The study compared medical management versus surgical closure as primary treatment for symptomatic PDA in preterm infants, however the study did not use cyclooxygenase inhibitors in the medical management protocol.

	Radiation therapy
		Although radiotherapy is often used as part of curative therapy, it is occasionally used as a palliative treatment, where cure is not possible and the aim is for symptomatic relief.
		Radiation therapy (or radiotherapy) is the medical use of ionizing radiation as part of cancer treatment to control malignant cells (not to be confused with radiology, the use of radiation in medical imaging and diagnosis).
		The side effects can occur during treatment (acute side effects such as soreness and redness over the affected area; nausea and vomiting) or long after treatment has finished (late side effects reflecting permanent organ damage).

		Currently, GnRH analogues given with add-back therapy seems to be the most effective long-term approach to the treatment of symptomatic endometriosis.
		GnRH agonists are effective in the treatment of endometriosis, as well as other disorders, such as advanced prostrate cancer, precocious puberty and uterine leiomyomata.
		In a parallel manner, chronic GnRH agonist treatment plus low-dose steroid therapy (estrogen plus progestin or progestin only) is effective in the treatment of pelvic pain caused by endometriosis and reduces the hypoestrogenic effects associated with hypoestrogenism caused by the GnRH agonist.

	CNS Spectrums
		Prodromal patients are not only at high risk of conversion to psychosis in the near term, but they also are symptomatic, suffer impairment, and are treatment-seeking.
		All prodromal patients, in addition to being symptomatic, are also at risk in that approximately 40% are truly destined to become schizophrenic in the next year, and a higher proportion may be at risk over the longer term.
		Similarly, patients meeting prospective prodromal criteria and their families are concerned that treatment address not only current symptoms but also that it reduce the risk of conversion to schizophrenia.

		Many patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids are taking a medication such as Lupron for symptomatic relief as either a stand-alone treatment or as a way to reduce the size of a fibroid prior to surgery.
		The use of transcatheter uterine artery embolization as a treatment for symptomatic uterine leiomyomas is a new application of a percutaneous technique that has been effective for a variety of clinical applications.
		Possible explanations for treatment failure include incomplete embolization, extremely large uterine fibroids, the presence of a uterine cancer (leiomyosarcoma) or coexisting disorder such as adenomyosis, and the persistence of alternative sources of blood for the fibroids (such as the ovarian artery and the round ligament artery).

		The Rakai study provided wide-ranging STD treatment to both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals, while the Mwanza study involved STD education, upgraded clinic services, and treatment of symptomatic patients.
		The principal investigator of the Rakai study, Dr. Maria Wawer of Columbia University School of Public Health and Johns Hopkins University, notes that HIV risk is increased by STDs at an individual level, but that in the study setting, at the population level, many other factors may have overpowered any effect of the STD treatment.
		According to Dr. Judith Wasserheit, of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Rakai study neglected symptomatic carriers of STDs.

	Indomethacin for asymptomatic patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants
		A significant reduction in the incidence of symptomatic PDA was observed after treatment with indomethacin compared with control in all studies.
		The reduction in risk due to indomethacin treatment of asymptomatic PDA means that to prevent one symptomatic PDA, three babies would need to be treated.
		Indomethacin is an effective treatment to close a PDA, and has been used for many years with several treatment regimes, including prophylactic use in all at risk premature infants.
