What is Trip?
Trip is a clinical search engine designed to allow users to quickly and easily find and use high-quality research evidence to support their practice and/or care.
Trip has been online since 1997 and in that time has developed into the internet’s premier source of evidence-based content. Our motto is ‘Find evidence fast’ and this is something we aim to deliver for every single search.
As well as research evidence we also allow clinicians to search across other content types including images, videos, patient information leaflets, educational courses and news.
For further information on Trip click on any of the questions/sections on the left-hand side of this page. But if you still have questions please contact us via jon.brassey@tripdatabase.com

PhysicalTherapy versus Glucocorticoid Injection for Osteoarthritis of the Knee. Both physicaltherapy and intraarticular injections of glucocorticoids have been shown to confer clinical benefit with respect to osteoarthritis of the knee. Whether the short-term and long-term effectiveness for relieving pain and improving physical function differ between these two therapies is uncertain.We conducted a randomized trial to compare physicaltherapy with glucocorticoid injection in the primary care (...) setting in the U.S. Military Health System. Patients with osteoarthritis in one or both knees were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive a glucocorticoid injection or to undergo physicaltherapy. The primary outcome was the total score on the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) at 1 year (scores range from 0 to 240, with higher scores indicating worse pain, function, and stiffness). The secondary outcomes were the time needed to complete the Alternate Step Test

Physicaltherapies for postural abnormalities in people with cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common life-threatening, inherited disease in white populations which causes several dysfunctions, including postural abnormalities. Physicaltherapy may help in some consequences of these postural abnormalities, such as pain, trunk deformity and quality of life.To determine the effects of a range of physicaltherapies for managing postural abnormalities in people with cystic fibrosis (...) controlled trials examining any modality of physicaltherapy considered relevant for treating postural disorders compared with each other, no physicaltherapy, sham treatment or usual care in people with CF (of any age or disease severity).Two review authors independently selected eligible trials, assessed the risk of bias in each trial and extracted the data. We contacted trial authors to obtain missing or additional information. We assessed the quality of the evidence using the GRADE criteria.Two

third of people who suffer a stroke. Maximizing upper limb recovery after stroke requires significant time and effort by the patient and the physiotherapy team. Constraint-induced movement therapy, in which an unaffected limb is restrained (e.g., with a bandage or sling) and the weakened limb is rigorously exercised is one example of a physicaltherapy treatment that aims to improve upper extremity motor functions after a stroke. 7 Functional electrical stimulation is also used by physiotherapists (...) therapy. 5 March 2020 Ontario Health Technology Assessment Series; Vol. 20: No. 7, pp. 1–70, March 2020 8 Health Service Under Review Physiotherapy After Stroke Physiotherapy (also sometimes known as physical rehabilitation) is delivered by physiotherapists (also sometimes known as physical therapists) in many different practice settings, including acute care and rehabilitation hospitals, outpatient clinics, long-term care homes, and primary care facilities.
