This study compares two breathing devices used during general anesthesia for shoulder surgery. Researchers want to see if a new video-guided mask (SafeLM™) keeps a better seal than a standard device (i-gel®) when patients are tilted into a special 'beach chair' position for surge…

This study aims to find out if using a deeper level of muscle relaxation during abdominal surgery leads to better lung pressure control and fewer serious breathing problems right after surgery. Researchers will compare two different depths of muscle relaxation in 128 adults havin…

This study is testing a new, non-invasive measurement called the Urethral Resistive Index (URI) to see if it can accurately diagnose a urethral stricture (a narrowing of the tube that carries urine out of the body) in men. Currently, diagnosis often requires invasive procedures. …

This study aims to find the best way to manage pain after lower abdominal surgery in children aged 1 to 8. Researchers will compare two different numbing injections given during surgery: a common lower back (caudal) block and a newer back muscle (erector spinae plane) block. The …

This study is testing a minimally invasive nerve treatment called pulsed radiofrequency for older adults with chronic migraine. It aims to see if this procedure can reduce headache frequency and pain intensity more effectively than standard nerve blocks. Researchers will also loo…

This study is observing if a treatment called pulsed radiofrequency, applied to a nerve at the back of the head, can help people with migraines. It will follow 100 adults with migraines to see if the treatment reduces their overall pain sensitivity, skin tenderness during attacks…

This study is testing a gel called Sensovisc, which is injected into the knee, to see if it safely reduces pain and improves movement for people with osteoarthritis. It will involve 75 adults with knee arthritis and measure their pain levels and ability to do daily activities ove…

This study aims to find the best dose of a common steroid (dexamethasone) to help people feel better faster after having their gallbladder removed. Researchers will compare a moderate dose to a high dose given during surgery to see which one more effectively reduces nausea, vomit…

This study is testing a gel called Sensovisc, which is injected directly into the hip joint. The goal is to see if it is safe and can help reduce pain and improve movement for people with hip osteoarthritis. Researchers will enroll 25 adults with moderate hip arthritis to measure…

This study aims to find the best way to manage pain for older adults having hip fracture surgery. It will compare a standard nerve block to a combination of two nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief during and after the procedure. The goal is to reduce the need fo…

This study aims to find out if a newer spinal anesthesia technique works faster and more effectively than the standard method for planned C-sections. Researchers will compare the two techniques in 100 healthy pregnant women to see which one provides quicker pain relief and better…

This study looks back at medical records to see if men who took dutasteride for at least six months before a specific prostate surgery (HoLEP) had different outcomes. Researchers will compare two groups: those who took the drug long-term and those who did not. The goal is to unde…

This study aims to understand how breathing and lung function change during different steps of robotic surgery. Researchers will observe 65 patients undergoing robotic surgery to measure specific breathing patterns and pressures. The goal is to gather knowledge, not to test a new…

This study aims to find out which of two low-flow anesthesia methods is safer and more efficient for men having robotic surgery to remove their prostate due to cancer. Researchers will compare a very low flow (0.5 L/min) to a standard low flow (1 L/min) of anesthetic gas, checkin…

This study aims to understand if the type of anesthesia used during forearm fracture surgery affects levels of a protein called irisin, which is involved in bone healing. Researchers will compare two common anesthesia methods in 90 adults and measure irisin levels before and afte…
