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 study compares two ways of adjusting the air cushion (cuff) on the breathing tube used during general anesthesia in children having laparoscopic appendectomy. One group uses the standard finger-palpation method, while the other uses a pressure sensor to keep the cuff within …

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 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…
