PubMed Quick Tip #2: Imagine the Perfect Article

One of my favorite limits is the "title" tag. If you imagine what title a great article would have, those keywords can help you hone in on relevant hits. This is particularly helpful when thousands of hits come up in an unlimited search. Some useful terms include "current concepts," "update," "practical"(or in combination with "approach," "strategies," or "management").
Click the limits tab on the PubMed homepage.
Scroll to the bottom of the limits page and under "Tag Terms" choose "title."
Type your search terms into the search box at the top of the page.
All the articles that come up will have those words in the title.
