This study tests two ways to prevent dry mouth caused by radiation therapy in head and neck cancer patients. One method uses a tiny camera to clean saliva ducts, and the other uses low-level laser light to boost saliva gland function. 42 patients will be randomly assigned to one …

This study compares two common hand rubs—chlorhexidine and alcohol—used by medical staff before touching premature babies in the NICU. The goal is to see which one better prevents healthcare-associated infections. One hundred premature infants will be monitored with blood culture…

This study tests whether giving lactase enzyme drops with formula milk can prevent feeding intolerance in very premature infants (≤32 weeks). 120 babies will receive either lactase or placebo for 14 days. Researchers will track vomiting, stomach swelling, and leftover milk in the…

This study tests two oral medications—diosmin-hesperidin (a flavonoid supplement) and loratadine (an allergy drug)—to prevent bone pain caused by G-CSF, a drug that boosts white blood cells in blood cancer patients. Researchers will compare each drug alone and in combination agai…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks—erector spinae plane block and modified thoracoabdominal nerve block—for pain control after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Fifty adults aged 30-65 will receive one of the two blocks with bupivacaine. Researchers will measure how lo…

This study compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks—external oblique intercostal plane block and erector spinae plane block—for controlling pain in children aged 6 to 12 undergoing upper abdominal surgery. Forty children will be enrolled, and their pain levels, heart rate, and…

This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) program can help people on dialysis feel less anxious and cope better with stress. About 60 adults will use personalized relaxation techniques guided by AI during their dialysis sessions. Researchers will measure changes in…

This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) before and after major abdominal surgery can improve recovery and shorten hospital stays. Sixty adults will either receive standard care or add VR sessions with guided relaxation and breathing exercises. The goal is to see if th…

This study tests whether a nasal spray of dexmedetomidine can reduce agitation in children aged 3-6 after strabismus (eye muscle) surgery. 120 children will receive either 2 or 3 micrograms per kilogram of the medicine. The goal is to find the best dose to help children wake up c…

This study tests a new way to do root canals that skips the manual step of scouting and widening the canal by hand. Instead, dentists use a special rotary file from the start. The goal is to see if this causes less pain after the procedure compared to the traditional method. The …

This study tests two noninvasive treatments for jaw muscle pain (TMD): a standard mouth splint and a newer ear stent. About 32 adults with moderate to severe pain will be randomly assigned to one treatment. Researchers will measure changes in muscle activity, mouth opening, and p…

This study tests two drugs—lidocaine and dexmedetomidine—given as infusions during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy to see which one helps with pain and recovery. Forty adults aged 20-50 with a BMI of 35-50 are being recruited. The goal is to find a better way to manage early post…

This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided nerve block with steroids can reduce pain in people with post-herpetic neuralgia—persistent nerve pain after shingles—that hasn't improved with standard treatments. Sixty adults aged 20 to 70 will receive either the nerve block or usu…

This study tests whether a 12-week aerobic exercise program (cycling) during hemodialysis sessions can improve sleep quality, depression, and anxiety in kidney patients. 100 adults on maintenance dialysis will be split into an exercise group and a control group. The goal is to se…

This study compares placing a central line (a tube into a large vein) using ultrasound on the right versus left side of the upper chest/armpit area. Eighty adults needing a port-a-cath will be randomly assigned to one side. Doctors will measure how often the line is placed correc…

This study asks 150 surgical nurses about their thoughts on artificial intelligence in their daily work. Researchers want to know if nurses feel ready for AI and how they think it might change patient care. The study does not test any treatment or device—it simply gathers opinion…
