This study compares two treatments for infected baby molars in children aged 3 to 8: a less invasive method using a triple antibiotic paste versus a standard root canal with a calcium hydroxide-iodoform paste. The goal is to see which approach better relieves pain, swelling, and …

This study tests whether a special blood product made from a patient's own blood can help preserve the jawbone after a tooth is pulled. After extraction, the bone and gums often shrink, which can complicate future dental implants. The treatment uses two forms of platelet-rich fib…

This study looks at whether showering once or twice with a special antiseptic soap before lumbar disc herniation surgery reduces the risk of surgical site infections. 86 participants will be randomly assigned to shower either the night before surgery or both the night before and …

This study tests a new, gentle way to thicken thin gums using a substance made from your own blood (called i-PRF). Thin gums can lead to gum recession and other problems. The treatment involves a few injections over time, and researchers will measure gum thickness with ultrasound…

This study looks at how healthy older adults aged 60 to 81 respond to a 12-week exercise program that includes walking, strength, balance, and flexibility exercises. Participants are randomly assigned to either the exercise group or a control group. The researchers measure change…

This study looks at whether a 14-week elective course that uses films and discussions about social justice can help medical students better understand their own emotions and feel more empathy for others. About 60 medical students will take part, with some taking the course and ot…

This study looks at three simple tests—CARG, G8, and a frailty scale—to see which one best predicts chemotherapy side effects in cancer patients aged 65 and older. Researchers will assess 150 patients before they start chemo and track side effects during treatment. The goal is to…

This study looks at whether prolactin (a hormone) and certain inflammation markers in the blood are linked to how severe Parkinson's disease is. Researchers will measure these in 300 people with Parkinson's and compare them to standard disease severity scores. The goal is to find…

This study looks at 200 adults with solid tumors who are getting chemotherapy. Researchers will compare four different checklists (PG-SGA, MUST, Nutriscore, and GLIM criteria) to see which best identifies malnutrition and muscle loss. The goal is to find the most reliable tool so…

This study is checking if two substances in the blood, called IGF-1 and IGF-1Ec, are linked to how much cancer is in the body. Researchers will measure these levels in 100 adults with solid tumors and compare them to tumor size, stage, and spread. The goal is to see if these mark…

This study looks at whether three easy-to-use health checklists (G8, CARG, and Frailty scales) can predict chemotherapy side effects in people aged 65 and older with solid tumors. Researchers will also check if these scores relate to nutrition blood tests and the need for a drug …
