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 19Semicarbazide-cadmium therapyDiscontinued or ObsoleteSeton StitchDiscontinued or ObsoleteShiatsuDiscontinued or ObsoleteSkunk OilDiscontinued or ObsoleteSnake OilDiscontinued or ObsoleteStamina therapyDiscontinued or ObsoleteTamagozakeDiscontinued or ObsoleteTar-waterDiscontinued or ObsoleteThalassotherapyDiscontinued or ObsoleteTheriacDiscontinued or ObsoleteTilden's ExtractDiscontinued or ObsoleteTobacco Smoke EnemaDiscontinued or ObsoleteTrepanationDiscontinued or ObsoleteTrepanningDiscontinued or ObsoleteTui NaDiscontinued or ObsoleteUrine TherapyDiscontinued or ObsoleteUvulotomyDiscontinued or ObsoleteXenotransfusionDiscontinued or ObsoleteZero BalancingDiscontinued or ObsoleteShowing 101 to 119 of 119, page 3 of 3.← Previous123Sources1.
