This study compares four different dental filling materials for children's baby molars to see which works best over time. Children aged 4-8 years who need fillings in their back baby teeth will receive one of the materials randomly. Researchers will check how well each filling ho…

This study is testing if a material called graphene oxide works as well as standard treatments for saving infected baby teeth. Researchers will compare graphene oxide to other common dental materials in 126 children aged 5-10. The goal is to see which material best controls the i…

This study tests whether natural substances (grape seed extract and glycyrrhizin) work as well as standard antibiotic paste for treating dead permanent teeth in children aged 7-13. Researchers will place these materials inside the tooth canals to help the tooth heal and continue …

This study is testing a new, less invasive surgical technique to stabilize shoulders that repeatedly dislocate. It will involve 20 people with a history of shoulder dislocations and some bone loss. Doctors will use a small camera and tools to repair the shoulder using a piece of …

This project tests whether using a standardized 1-hour checklist for treating sepsis can save more lives. It will compare outcomes for about 120 patients treated before and after the new protocol is introduced at a hospital's emergency and intensive care units. The goal is to get…

This study compares three different materials used to treat deep cavities in children's baby molars. Researchers want to see if newer materials (hyaluronic acid and TheraCal) work as well as or better than the current standard (MTA) at keeping these teeth healthy for 12 months. T…

This study is testing if applying a form of vitamin D (calcitriol) directly to the gums can help teeth move faster during orthodontic treatment with braces. It will involve 22 people who need to have teeth pulled and then have their canine teeth moved back. In a 'split-mouth' des…

This study aims to see if a quick, non-invasive ultrasound scan of the eye can predict which women will develop severe headaches after spinal anesthesia during planned cesarean sections. Researchers will measure changes in the optic nerve sheath right before and after the spinal …

This study is testing whether artificial intelligence (AI) can reliably analyze dental X-rays to help plan orthodontic treatments like braces. Researchers will compare measurements from an AI system to traditional manual methods on X-rays from 55 patients. The goal is to see if A…

This study aims to see if specific exercise programs can help people with long-term low back pain who also have trouble sleeping. Researchers will compare three groups: one doing Pilates plus resistance training, one doing Pilates alone, and a group receiving general advice only.…

This study is testing if adding sleep education to standard neck exercises helps people with long-term neck pain. It aims to see if this combined approach improves sleep quality and reduces pain and disability better than exercises alone. The study will involve 120 adults with ch…

This study aims to find the best way to prevent a sudden, severe increase in pain that can happen when numbing medication wears off after arm surgery. Researchers will test two common drugs, dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine, given alongside the numbing injection to see if they c…

This study compares two ways of giving spinal anesthesia during planned C-sections to see which one better prevents sudden drops in the mother's blood pressure. Researchers will randomly assign 94 women to receive either the standard single injection or a newer method where the m…

This study is testing if a simple injection through the epidural needle before placing the pain-relief catheter makes the process easier and more likely to work on the first try. It involves 216 women in active labor who are requesting an epidural. The goal is to improve the succ…

This study is testing if adding pain science education to standard back exercises helps people with long-term low back pain. Forty adults will be split into two groups: one doing exercises only, and another doing exercises plus weekly education sessions about how pain works in th…

This study is testing whether a program combining structured exercises with encouragement for daily physical activity can help older adults with long-term low back pain. Researchers will compare this combined approach to exercise alone and to usual care. They aim to see which met…

This study compares two different numbing injection techniques to control pain after hernia repair surgery in adults. Researchers will test which method provides better and longer-lasting pain relief while reducing the need for strong pain medications. The trial involves 66 patie…

This study aims to find the best and safest dose of a drug called dexmedetomidine to prevent shivering in patients receiving spinal anesthesia. It will compare three different low doses against a placebo in 120 adults having surgery to remove kidney stones. The goal is to reduce …
