Patients may need better info when leaving hospitals Tuesday, Aug 20, 2013 01:33 PM PDT By Andrew M. Seaman NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Older patients may think they understand everything doctors tell them when they are released from the hospital, but a new U.S. study found several gaps in what they remember and areas where instructions could be clearer.

Researchers found that across 12 trials, people who used so-called lateral wedge insoles rated their pain about two points lower on a 20-point scale than those who used flat insoles or none at all. But when the study team looked only at higher quality trials, including ones that accounted for the placebo effect of simply having insoles, any significant benefit went away. ... Full Story | Top |
