Treatment efficacy for non-cardiovascular chest pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

<h4>Background</h4>Non-cardiovascular chest pain (NCCP) leads to impaired quality of life and is associated with a high disease burden. Upon ruling out cardiovascular disease, only vague recommendations exist for further treatment.<h4>Objectives</h4>To summarize treatment eff...
