This study tests whether doing Pilates exercises three times a week for 12 weeks can improve bone density in breast cancer survivors aged 40-60 who are taking hormone therapy (aromatase inhibitors). These women are at higher risk for bone loss and osteoporosis. The trial will mea…

This study tests a new surgical technique for people with macular holes that didn't close after standard treatment. Surgeons take a small piece of the patient's own eye tissue (Tenon's capsule) and use it as a patch to plug the hole. Twenty participants will be followed for 3 mon…

This study tests whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the bladder wall can help people with overactive bladder that hasn't improved with standard treatments. PRP, made from a patient's own blood, is compared to Botox, a common treatment for this condition. About 48 a…

This study looks at two ways to manage sedation in COPD patients who need a breathing machine (ventilator). One group gets no sedation at all, while the other has their sedation paused every day. The goal is to see which approach helps patients spend more days off the ventilator …

This study tests whether low-intensity shockwave therapy or pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, each combined with pelvic floor muscle training, can improve sexual function in women with sexual dysfunction. 90 premenopausal women aged 20-50 will be randomly assigned to one of t…

This study compares doing physical therapy at home via video calls (telerehabilitation) versus going to a clinic for in-person sessions. Researchers want to see if remote therapy can reduce pain and improve function just as well for people with medial epicondylitis, also known as…

This study tests two types of nerve blocks—anterior iliopsoas space block and PENG block—to see which helps patients with hip fractures get into position for spinal anesthesia more easily and with less pain. About 90 adults undergoing hip surgery will receive one of the blocks be…

This study tests whether adding dexmedetomidine to the standard spinal anesthetic bupivacaine improves pain relief and recovery for women undergoing planned C-sections. 300 full-term pregnant women will be randomly assigned to receive either bupivacaine alone or bupivacaine plus …

This study looks at whether a drug called dexmedetomidine can help prevent confusion and memory loss in older adults after major leg surgery. Researchers will compare different doses of the drug to standard pain medicine in 75 patients. The goal is to find the best dose to protec…

This study tests whether taking melatonin before a planned C-section can lower pain afterward. Sixty women will receive either 5 mg, 10 mg, or a placebo pill one hour before surgery. Researchers will track pain levels, how soon they need extra pain relief, and any side effects ov…

This study compares two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to control pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (weight-loss surgery). About 70 adults aged 18-65 with a BMI between 30-50 will receive either an external oblique intercostal plane block or a subcostal transver…

This study tests whether wearing a virtual reality headset with calming scenes can reduce anxiety and stress during a cesarean section as well as a sedative drug called dexmedetomidine. Fifty-two women having planned C-sections will be randomly assigned to receive either the VR h…

This study tests whether giving sedation before ultrasound-guided spinal anesthesia can lower the chance of back pain after surgery. Spinal anesthesia is common for lower body surgeries, but some people develop discomfort or long-lasting back pain. The researchers will compare st…

This study looks at 55 women who have a chronic (long-term) infection with the Toxoplasma parasite and also have a mental health condition like schizophrenia, depression, or bipolar disorder. Researchers want to see if tiny molecules called microRNAs in the blood can help tell th…

This study is testing whether a new measure called the Capillary Leak Index (CLI) can better predict death within 28 days in patients with severe abdominal infection after surgery. Researchers will compare CLI to standard blood tests in 100 adults in the ICU. The goal is to impro…
