This study compares two treatment schedules (daily vs pulse therapy) of the antifungal drug itraconazole for children aged 5 to 18 with tinea capitis (scalp ringworm). The goal is to find which approach works better to cure the infection, using skin exams, lab tests, and dermosco…

This study tests custom-made 3D-printed metal plates to rebuild the jaw after part of it is removed due to disease or injury. The plates are designed from each patient's own CT scans to fit perfectly, avoiding the need for bending during surgery. Researchers will follow 14 patien…

This study tests whether creams made with coenzyme Q10 or curcumin can shrink or stabilize white patches in the mouth called oral leukoplakia, which can turn into cancer. About 34 adults with these patches will apply the cream and be monitored for changes in lesion size and saliv…

This study tests if rupatadine, an allergy medicine, can help control inflammation and symptoms in people with mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis. About 60 adults will take the drug and be monitored for safety and effectiveness. The goal is to manage the disease, not cure it.

This study tests different methods of temporarily blocking the uterine arteries during laparoscopic fibroid removal to see which reduces blood loss the most. About 60 women with uterine fibroids who need surgery will take part. The goal is to find a technique that minimizes bleed…

This study tests whether adding an oxygen-releasing gel, with or without a special light therapy, can improve treatment for advanced gum disease (stage III periodontitis). 42 adults with deep gum pockets will receive standard deep cleaning plus the gel, the gel and light, or clea…

This study looks at two ways to treat deep cavities in 5- to 7-year-olds' second molars. One group gets a standard material (MTA) and the other a newer bioceramic putty, then each tooth is covered with either a stainless steel or a 3D-printed resin crown. The goal is to see which…

This study looks at three methods of giving premature babies (born at 32 weeks or earlier) extra blood from the umbilical cord right after birth. The goal is to see which method best improves the baby's blood health and reduces complications. About 160 babies will take part, and …

This study tests whether adding erythropoietin to a special blood-based material (albumin platelet-rich fibrin) helps improve bone growth and reduce pain after sinus lifting and dental implant placement. Twenty adults with low bone height in the upper jaw will be randomly assigne…

This early-phase study tests whether taking probiotics alongside methotrexate can improve psoriasis symptoms and gut bacteria in newly diagnosed adults. Twenty-four participants will take either probiotics plus methotrexate or methotrexate alone for 4 months. Researchers will com…

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

This study compares two hand-cleaning methods—chlorhexidine gluconate and alcohol hand rubbing—to see which better prevents infections in premature babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). About 100 babies born before 37 weeks will be enrolled. The goal is to reduce hea…

This study tests whether giving lactase enzyme supplements to very premature babies (born at or before 32 weeks) can prevent feeding intolerance. About 120 infants will receive the supplement or a placebo starting within their first 72 hours of life. The goal is to reduce vomitin…

This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) can help people recover better and leave the hospital sooner after major abdominal surgery. Sixty adults will either use VR for guided relaxation and mindfulness before and after surgery, or receive standard care. The goal is to…

This study compares two ways of doing root canals to see which one causes less pain afterward. It involves 34 adults with infected back teeth. Researchers will also measure pain-related brain chemicals to understand why pain happens.

This study tests whether lidocaine or dexmedetomidine works better to control pain and improve recovery in 40 adults having laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (weight-loss surgery). Both drugs are given through a vein during surgery. The goal is to see which one reduces pain, delays…

This study tests whether a simple exercise program done during dialysis sessions can help people with kidney failure sleep better and feel less depressed or anxious. About 100 adults on long-term dialysis will take part. The goal is to see if adding movement to treatment improves…

This study tests a special injection (erector spinae plane block) to relieve pain from post-herpetic neuralgia, a painful condition after shingles. 60 adults who haven't found relief from standard treatments will receive either the injection or usual care. The goal is to see if t…

This study tests two 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. The goal is to see which reduces pain and improves jaw opening more effectively.

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

This study compares two oral medications—diosmin-hesperidin (a plant-based supplement) and loratadine (an allergy drug)—to prevent severe bone pain caused by G-CSF, a medicine that boosts white blood cells in people with blood cancers. About 88 adults receiving G-CSF for leukemia…

This study tests whether a nasal spray of dexmedetomidine, a sedative, can reduce confusion and agitation in children aged 3-6 after strabismus (eye muscle) surgery. Researchers will compare two different doses (2 vs 3 mcg/kg) in 120 children to find the most effective dose. The …
