This study compared two methods of pain relief for children aged 1-7 having hernia repair surgery. Researchers tested whether a newer ultrasound-guided numbing technique works as well as a standard method for managing pain after surgery. The trial involved 50 children to see whic…

This study tested whether a sedative drug called dexmedetomidine helps the stomach empty faster after keyhole gallbladder removal surgery. Researchers used ultrasound scans to measure stomach volume in 80 patients before and after their operation. The goal was to see if this drug…

This study compared two different guidance methods for a nerve block used during sinus surgery. The goal was to see which method better reduces bleeding during the operation and pain afterward. Researchers tested ultrasound guidance against a computer navigation system called Bra…

This study aimed to create a detailed picture of how nerves in the neck and shoulder look on an ultrasound scan. Researchers scanned 200 patients who were scheduled for elective surgery to understand the normal, healthy anatomy of these nerves. The goal was to gather basic knowle…

This study aimed to understand how diabetic nerve damage (polyneuropathy) affects carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers examined 84 people, some with diabetes, some with carpal tunnel, and some with both. They used special ultrasound scans and hand function tests to see if the two …
