This study looked at 110 people who needed surgery for a broken wrist. Half had a preventive carpal tunnel release at the same time, while the other half waited to see if carpal tunnel symptoms appeared. The goal was to see which approach led to fewer repeat surgeries and better …

This study looked at whether giving a medicine called misoprostol under the tongue before surgery helps women with a uterine scar problem (niche) after a C-section. The surgery aims to reduce abnormal bleeding and spotting. Fifty-six women took part, and the researchers measured …

This study tested two types of nerve blocks to reduce pain in children after hip surgery. 80 children aged 1-7 years received either a caudal block or a pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block. The goal was to see which block provides better pain control and reduces the need for st…

This study tested whether giving lidocaine or dexmedetomidine during a bile-duct procedure (ERCP) helps prevent confusion and memory problems in patients 65 and older. Thirty elderly participants received one of the two medicines through an IV during surgery. The goal was to see …

This study tested whether adding shockwave therapy to standard physiotherapy helps people with long-term neck pain. 52 adults aged 18-29 with chronic neck pain received either physiotherapy alone or physiotherapy plus shockwave therapy. The goal was to see if the combination redu…
