Therapy
(Redirected from Treatment)
Therapy, in the medical field also called treatment, is what people do to try to solve or care for a health problem, physical or mental. When a person is ill or injured, a doctor may make a medical diagnosis and then recommend a therapy to try to make the person well. The therapy can be, for example, medications (drugs), surgery or a change of diet. Therapy may be offered at work to help people with stress.[1]
A person who does therapy as a job is called a therapist. There are many kinds of therapists.[2] for example:
Therapeutic effects
Medical treatments may have four results:
- No effect at all
- Placebo effect
- A therapeutic effect is a good result
- An adverse effect is a bad result
- A side-effect or adverse reaction[3] is an unwanted effect from therapy. For example, taking medications as tablets or injections may cause many sorts of side-effects. Examples are headaches, nausea, rash, constipation, blurred vision and others. Radiotherapy can also cause side effects of nausea, rash on the skin, and vomiting, for example
