*The extent of discussion for each therapy does not reflect its relative merit, but merely the author’s access to information. Furthermore, this is not an all-inclusive review, and because in certain areas the field is rapidly progressing, the provided information may be dated. New information will be added on an ongoing basis.

A thumbs-up or -down recommendation is not provided for any therapy. Clearly, some procedures are relatively innocuous, and others may have substantial risk associated with them. As such, any person considering a specific procedure should carefully weigh, relative to their unique situation, potential benefits that may accrue against perhaps poorly defined risks.
