This is due to the constraints in the financial resources, geographical locations and lack of support from the relevant organizations (Lindgren & Doobay, 2011).

Despite the few evidence-based intervention mechanisms, identifying or knowing which intervention is the most effective among the many non-evidenced interventions has been a problem for the whole medical field. For this reason, this paper seeks to review four types of interventions that are in line and have been assessed in accordance with scientific quality accepted standards. For the purposes of explaining and analyzing the efficacy of these interventions, the paper shall review certain research articles that have focused on proving the efficacy of the four interventions and discuss the results and findings of each of these articles to ascertain the effectiveness of the four interventions and if the available scientific evidence that supports their effectiveness is valid and
