This study compared two dental procedures—Hall technique and modified Hall technique—for treating deep cavities in baby molars of 268 children aged 3-12. The goal was to see which method had better clinical and X-ray success. Researchers also looked at how the amount of tooth dam…

This study tested whether taking whey protein together with collagen peptides helps resistance-trained men build more muscle and bone density than either supplement alone or a placebo. Forty healthy men aged 18–35 who already lifted weights took one of four supplements for 8 week…

This study tests whether adding neural gliding exercises—gentle movements that help nerves slide smoothly—to standard shock wave therapy and home exercises can further reduce pain and improve foot function in people with plantar fasciitis. About 56 adults with this common cause o…

This study tested two treatments for shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome) in 22 active adults. One group got deep tissue massage plus exercise, the other got shock wave therapy plus exercise. Both groups also received standard pain relief (TENS). The goal was to see which…

This study tested a nurse-led education program for pregnant women with gestational diabetes. 71 women took part, with some receiving the program and others standard care. The goal was to see if the program improved healthy behaviors, self-confidence, and health beliefs, and redu…

This study looked at whether adding craniosacral therapy (a gentle, hands-on technique) to a home exercise program could reduce pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. Twenty-one adults participated, with one group receiving the therapy weekly for six weeks …

This study tested two devices—Coolsense (cold) and Buzzy (cold + vibration)—to see if they could reduce pain and fear in children aged 6-12 during insulin injections. 90 kids with type 1 diabetes were split into three groups: one used Coolsense, one used Buzzy, and one received s…

This study tested whether a short, fast-paced video lesson (called Pecha Kucha) given before cataract surgery could improve how well patients recover. 61 adults were split into two groups: one got the video, the other got standard care. Researchers measured recovery quality using…

This study tested whether using virtual reality glasses for discharge education helps patients better care for themselves after bariatric surgery. Sixty adults who had laparoscopic weight-loss surgery were split into two groups: one received standard care, the other watched a 15-…

This study tested whether the 4-7-8 breathing technique (breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 7, out for 8) can help with pain, nausea, and vomiting after bariatric surgery. Sixty patients were split into two groups: one practiced the breathing technique hourly, the other received …

This study looked at how a short period of rapid weight loss combined with exercise changes blood cells and immune cells in nine elite male wrestlers. The wrestlers lost about 4.3% of their body weight over five days, and blood samples were taken before and after exercise. The go…

This study looked at how walking speed changes the way stroke survivors walk. Fifteen people who had a stroke and could walk with or without help were asked to walk at different speeds while their steps were measured. The goal was to understand how speed affects step length, bala…

This study tested whether a single 20-minute session of neuroathletic training—a mix of eye, balance, and coordination exercises—could improve muscle strength, endurance, balance, and thinking in 52 non-athletic adults aged 18-30. Participants were healthy but inactive. The train…

This study looked at whether a virtual game simulation can help nursing students learn about standard infection precautions better than traditional teaching. 130 first-year nursing students were split into two groups: one got standard lessons, the other also played a digital simu…

This study looked at 72 children aged 4-7 who had never been to the dentist and needed a filling. Kids were randomly assigned to have a parent present, absent, or watching behind glass during treatment. Researchers measured anxiety using questionnaires, heart rate, and oxygen lev…

This study compared 16 athletes with chronic ankle instability (CAI) to 16 healthy athletes. They performed tests like jumps, hops, and agility runs. Results showed that those with CAI jumped lower, hopped shorter distances, and were slower in agility tests. The study suggests th…

This study looked at 42 male football players, half with a recent hamstring strain and half without. Using muscle activity sensors, researchers found that injured players still had weaker activation in several muscles—not just the hamstring—up to six months later. These hidden de…
