This study tests whether using a device that monitors oxygen levels in real time during spine surgery can help doctors give just the right amount of oxygen, reducing lung collapse afterward. 74 adults having spine surgery will be split into two groups: one gets standard fixed oxy…

This study tests a group psychoeducation program for people with schizophrenia to help them manage relapse and improve functional recovery. Sixty participants will be split into two groups: one receives the program (four 60-minute sessions) and the other does not. Researchers wil…

This study will test whether a kidney ultrasound and a urine test can predict acute kidney injury in people with sepsis. Researchers will measure kidney blood flow and specific urine markers in 130 adults shortly after sepsis diagnosis. The goal is to see if these tests can spot …

This trial compares two standard gas pressures used during laparoscopic appendectomy — 10 mmHg versus 15 mmHg — to see which leads to less pain and faster recovery. About 150 adults with uncomplicated appendicitis will be randomly assigned to one pressure level. Researchers will …

This study compares two types of nerve blocks for pain after modified radical mastectomy. One block is placed under the chest muscle, the other above it, and a third combines both. The goal is to see which approach reduces opioid use and pain scores most effectively. Sixty women …

This study compares two ways of giving a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) to control pain after lumbar fusion surgery. Sixty adults undergoing back surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either a single-level or a two-level injection. Researchers will measure pain s…

This study investigates how often muscle relaxants used during general anesthesia remain in the body after surgery, a condition called residual neuromuscular blockade. It will follow 160 adults aged 18-90 who are scheduled for post-anesthesia care unit admission after elective su…

This study compares two arm positions (90° vs 120° abduction) during a nerve block for hand, wrist, and forearm surgery. Researchers want to see which angle leads to a faster and more reliable block. About 106 adults will take part, and the goal is to improve how this common proc…

This study will compare two types of pain blocks—caudal block and quadratus lumborum block—in 68 children aged 2 months to 6 years having lower abdominal surgery. Researchers will use a special pain monitor and behavioral pain scores to see which block works better during and aft…

This study aims to pinpoint the exact start and end of the adductor canal, a key area for numbing the thigh during knee surgery. Researchers will measure distances from the hip bone to the knee using ultrasound in 200 patients and compare these with measurements from cadavers. Th…
