This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can reduce nerve pain, depression, and sleep problems in people with spinal cord injury. Researchers will compare two different rTMS protocols against a placebo in 63 adults. Participants continue the…

This study tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve heart rate variability and quality of life in people who have had a stroke. 44 participants will receive either real or sham rTMS for 4 weeks. The goal is to see if this brain stimulation can…

This study compares mirror therapy, brain stimulation (rTMS), and robotic hand training added to standard rehab for stroke patients. 120 adults who had a stroke at least 3 months ago will receive 20 sessions over 4 weeks. The goal is to see which approach best improves arm functi…

This study compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: an ultrasound-guided injection around the nerve versus a small-incision surgery to relieve pressure. Researchers will measure pain and hand function in 60 adults with mild to severe symptoms over 12 weeks. The goal is…

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can reduce nerve pain in people with spinal cord injury. Sixty adults will receive either real or sham rTMS daily for 15 sessions while continuing their usual pain medications. Pain levels will be mea…

This study compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: resting splints and high-intensity laser therapy, both added to standard physical therapy. Researchers will measure pain, hand function, nerve signals, and grip strength in 78 adults aged 18-75. The goal is to see whi…

This study looks at how carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) severity relates to sleep quality. Researchers will compare 120 CTS patients with healthy controls using ultrasound and sleep questionnaires. The goal is to better understand the connection between nerve compression and poor sl…

This study looks at how a special exercise method—using a cuff to partly block blood flow to the leg—affects muscle and blood markers in 30 healthy adults. Half are new to strength training, half are experienced athletes. Over six weeks, researchers measure muscle thickness and b…

This study aims to validate a Turkish version of the PRAFAB questionnaire, a short 5-question tool that measures both the physical and emotional impact of urinary incontinence in women. Researchers will enroll 63 women diagnosed with urinary incontinence to see if the questionnai…

This study looks at how a routine exercise program can help the brain rewire itself after a stroke. Researchers will measure changes in genes and proteins linked to brain repair in 48 stroke survivors with weakness on one side. The goal is to understand the biological effects of …
