This study tests whether a type of abdominal massage called visceral osteopathic manual therapy can improve sperm quality and blood flow in men with varicocele, a condition where veins in the scrotum become enlarged and can cause infertility. Thirty-two men aged 18-45 will either…

This study tests a physiotherapy program that combines neck muscle exercises with a gentle nerve stimulation technique (transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation) in 50 adults with migraine. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce pain, improve daily function, and boost quali…

This study tests whether watching an educational animation through virtual reality goggles before knee replacement surgery can lower patients' fear and pain. Half of the 70 participants will get the VR lesson, while the other half receives standard teaching. Researchers will meas…

This study tests whether watching a 10-minute training video through virtual reality glasses on the second day after colorectal surgery can improve patients' self-efficacy—their confidence in managing their own recovery. 66 adults aged 18–65 who had laparoscopic surgery will be s…

This study tests whether a guided imagery technique—where patients listen to calming scenarios before and after surgery—can lower anxiety, reduce pain, and cut down on painkiller use in 128 people undergoing hip or knee replacement. The intervention is given four times around sur…
