Article Abstract
Background: Some meta-analyses have proved the superiority of non-pharmacological interventions in overactive bladder (OAB), but the best choice is still controversial.
Aim: To assess the most effective interventions in female with OAB.
Methods: Studies for relevant randomized controlled trials which compare different kinds of non-pharmacological interventions in females with OAB will be retrieved from 8 databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, VIP Database and China Biology Medicine disc, from inception to 1 January 2021. After screening titles and abstracts, detailed data including participates, interventions and outcomes will be extracted according to the eligible criteria. Then, Cochrane risk-of-bias tool will be used to assess the quality of the literature. The pairwise meta-analysis will be conducted by STATA. Network meta-analysis will be performed to compare and rank the effects of different non-pharmacological interventions, in terms of alleviation of symptoms, by OpenBUGS, R and STATA.
Results: This network meta-analysis will present the best available evidence about non-pharmacological interventions for OAB to both relieve symptoms and improve life quality.

Department of Psychiatry, The 4th People's Hospital of Ziyang, Ziyang Psychosis Hospital, Ziyang, China.
Background: Olfactory training (OT) has been proposed as a non-pharmacological intervention to improve cognitive functions and depressive symptomatology, but evidence remains fragmented.
Methods: In this study, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing OT versus control in middle-aged and elderly adults. Four databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase) were systematically searched from database inception through June 2025.
First evaluation of a novel pulsatile LVAD: Feasibility and haemodynamic impact in acute heart failure.
ESC Heart Fail
September 2025
Department of Cardiac-, Thoracic-, Transplantation and Vascular Surgery, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany.
Aims: Non-pharmacological therapies for acute decompensated heart failure (HF) and cardiogenic shock have evolved considerably in recent decades. Short-term mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices can be used as circulatory backup. While nearly all available devices use continuous flow, evidence indicates that pulsatile flow can be more effective.

Background: Multiple non-pharmacological and nonsurgical interventions have demonstrated efficacy in improving abdominal obesity. However, the optimal intervention remains uncertain. This study aimed to assess the relative effectiveness and safety of these interventions in reducing waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), body mass index (BMI), and body weight among adults with abdominal obesity.
