Below are most of the academic studies and case studies posted on this website, sorted by Domains of application, and then by type. I add to this list infrequently and browsing these here is recommended for pracitioners only.
RCT stands for Randomized Controlled Trials and I am also distinguishing between repeated or isolated academic studies, because many isolated study results have proven wrong or at least exaggerated.
This is of course not an exhaustive list, far from it, and only references the ones I have had to expand on. There are far too many otherwise!
