Home›Historical and Premodern Treatment Practice›Status›Discontinued or ObsoleteBrowse ByDiscontinued or ObsoleteThis dimension marks whether a medical treatment is still in standard use, considered obsolete or still experimental. Wikipedia notes that "not all therapies are effective" and that "many therapies can produce unwanted adverse effects," both reasons a treatment's standing can change over time. Browsing by status separates treatments still in current use from those no longer recommended.FactsDiscontinued or ObsoleteSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonModality KindWell-attestedhistorical-premodern 1Discontinued or ObsoleteFilter Results119 entriesTreatment CategoryAllDiscredited and Harmful Medical Practices (14)Energy and Vibrational Therapies (14)Folk and Ethnomedicine Practices (28)Humoral and Classical Medicine Practices (28)Hydrotherapy and Balneotherapy (9)Manual and Body-Based Practices (17)Traditional Surgical Practices (8)Type/ClassificationAllDiscredited and Harmful Medical Practices (14)Energy and Vibrational Therapies (14)Folk and Ethnomedicine Practices (28)Humoral and Classical Medicine Practices (28)Hydrotherapy and Balneotherapy (9)Manual and Body-Based Practices (17)Traditional Surgical Practices (8)Era (Origin Year)All-8000 (1)-3000 (1)-1600 (2)-1552 (1)-1550 (1)-1500 (1)-850 (1)500 BCE (1)-450 (1)-100 (1)1574 (1)1667 (1)1779 (1)1786 (1)1826 (1)1874 (1)1888 (1)1892 (1)1895 (2)1909 (1)1913 (1)1917 (2)1918 (1)1927 (2)1935 (1)1937 (1)1957 (1)1964 (1)1967 (1)Treats (Condition)AllAnemia (2)Arthritis (4)Asthma (1)Atopic Dermatitis (1)Autism (1)Bone Fracture (1)Breast Cancer (1)Cancer (3)Cardiovascular Disease (1)Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (1)Cholera (3)Dizziness (1)Drowning (1)Edema (1)Emphysema (1)Epilepsy (4)Fever (1)Fistula (1)Hemorrhoids (1)Hepatitis (1)Herniated Disc (1)HIV/AIDS (2)Hysteria (2)Joint Dislocation (1)Leprosy (1)Lymphedema (1)Malaria (2)Melanoma (1)Migraine (2)Multiple Sclerosis (1)Nausea and Vomiting (1)Neurosyphilis (1)Osteoarthritis (2)Osteomyelitis (1)Pain (8)Plague (1)Pneumonia (1)Pneumothorax (1)Psoriasis (4)Respiratory Failure (1)Rheumatic Fever (2)Rheumatoid Arthritis (1)Schizophrenia (2)Seizure (1)Stroke (1)Syphilis (3)Trachoma (1)Tuberculosis (2)Typhoid Fever (1)Ulcerative Colitis (1)Varicose Veins (1)DiscovererAllCesare Mattei (1)Mikao Usui (1)Sushruta (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 50Fowler's SolutionDiscontinued or ObsoleteGalvanic BathDiscontinued or ObsoleteGemmotherapyDiscontinued or ObsoleteGua ShaDiscontinued or ObsoleteHagiotherapyDiscontinued or ObsoleteHidaklonDiscontinued or ObsoleteHirudotherapyDiscontinued or ObsoleteHydrotherapyDiscontinued or ObsoleteInsulin Shock TherapyDiscontinued or ObsoleteIron LungDiscontinued or ObsoleteKaolin and morphineDiscontinued or ObsoleteKlosterfrau MelissengeistDiscontinued or ObsoleteLeech TherapyDiscontinued or ObsoleteLithia WaterDiscontinued or ObsoleteLobotomyDiscontinued or ObsoleteMaggot TherapyDiscontinued or ObsoleteMagnet TherapyDiscontinued or ObsoleteMaibaronDiscontinued or ObsoleteMalaria TherapyDiscontinued or ObsoleteMalariotherapyDiscontinued or ObsoleteMedical CannibalismDiscontinued or ObsoleteMesmerismDiscontinued or ObsoleteMithridateDiscontinued or ObsoleteMoxibustionDiscontinued or ObsoleteMustard BathDiscontinued or ObsoleteMustard PlasterDiscontinued or ObsoleteNarcotherapyDiscontinued or ObsoleteNaturopathyDiscontinued or ObsoleteNeuroreflexotherapyDiscontinued or ObsoleteOsteopathic Manipulative TreatmentDiscontinued or ObsoleteOsteopathyDiscontinued or ObsoleteOzone TherapyDiscontinued or ObsoletePatent MedicineDiscontinued or ObsoletePelvic MassageDiscontinued or ObsoletePerkins Patent TractorsDiscontinued or ObsoletePneumotherapyDiscontinued or ObsoletePoulticeDiscontinued or ObsoletePowder of SympathyDiscontinued or ObsoletePrimal TherapyDiscontinued or ObsoletePsychic SurgeryDiscontinued or ObsoletePyrotherapyDiscontinued or ObsoleteRadionicsDiscontinued or ObsoleteRadithorDiscontinued or ObsoleteRebirthing TherapyDiscontinued or ObsoleteReflexologyDiscontinued or ObsoleteReikiDiscontinued or ObsoleteRest CureDiscontinued or ObsoleteRevalenta ArabicaDiscontinued or ObsoleteRoyal TouchDiscontinued or ObsoleteSee Clearly MethodDiscontinued or ObsoleteShowing 51 to 100 of 119, page 2 of 3.← Previous123Next →Sources1.
