This study compares two types of cognitive-based balance training for people with Parkinson's disease: one using virtual reality (VR) and the other combining balance exercises with mental tasks like counting. Thirty-four participants aged 40-80 will do 16 sessions over 8 weeks. R…

This study tests whether adding core muscle exercises to standard pelvic floor training can better reduce urinary incontinence. Fifty adults with stress or mixed incontinence will do 12 weeks of exercises, either standard or with core co-activation. Researchers will measure sympt…

This study will test whether a special exercise program called LSVT BIG, done via video calls at home, works as well as the same program done in a clinic. Forty people with mild-to-moderate Parkinson's disease will be randomly assigned to either remote or in-person therapy for 4 …

This study tests a new technique called TPR (traction, pressure, and rapid muscle release) to see if it makes intramuscular injections less painful and more satisfying. About 102 adults will get a vitamin B12 shot using either the TPR method or the standard method. Researchers wi…

This study tests whether using virtual reality to educate patients before lumbar disc surgery reduces their anxiety more than standard education. About 56 adults scheduled for back surgery will be randomly assigned to either a VR education session or routine education. Researcher…

This study looks at how diabetic polyneuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes) changes responses to common dental pulp tests like electric and cold stimuli. Researchers will compare people with mild neuropathy, severe neuropathy, and healthy controls to see if nerve damage leads to…

This study explores whether stress in children and their parents is related to bruxism (teeth grinding) in kids aged 8-11. Researchers will compare 100 children with and without bruxism, using questionnaires to measure stress levels. The goal is to better understand the role of s…

This study compares lung function and breathing muscle strength between children with hearing loss and healthy children aged 7–16. Researchers want to see if hearing loss affects more than just hearing—possibly impacting breathing and physical development. The goal is to better u…

This observational study will look at how cognitive functions—like attention and mental flexibility—relate to balance, fear of falling, and quality of life in 80 adults with type 2 diabetes. Participants will complete thinking tests, balance assessments, and questionnaires. No tr…

This study looks at 5,000 patients who survived a cardiac arrest and were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Researchers will use artificial intelligence to analyze past medical records and create a model that predicts how long a patient will stay in the ICU, their brain …

This study looks at what happens to pain, balance, and posture after a 60-minute walk in people with hallux valgus (bunions). Researchers will compare 32 adults with and without the condition. The goal is to better understand how prolonged walking affects symptoms and movement, w…
