This study tests whether adding special tape (kinesio taping) to standard rehab helps stroke survivors with balance, coordination, and daily activities. About 60 adults who had a stroke at least a month ago will be randomly assigned to get either the tape plus rehab or rehab alon…

This study compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after lower back surgery. 80 adults having elective lumbar surgery will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two blocks. The main goal is to measure how much opioid pain medicati…

This study tests whether giving a single dose of ketamine during open-heart surgery can reduce chronic pain that sometimes lasts for months after the operation. About 100 adults having elective heart surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either ketamine or a placebo. Resea…

This study tests whether a special nerve block (M-TAPA) can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after open-heart surgery. About 80 adults having elective open-heart surgery will receive either the block plus standard care or standard care alone. The goal is to see if …

This study compares two common treatments—kinesiologic taping and dry needling—for shoulder pain caused by subacromial pain syndrome. About 100 adults with shoulder pain lasting over 6 weeks will be randomly assigned to one of the treatments or a combination. The goal is to see w…

This study looks at whether people with rheumatic diseases (like rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis) have higher levels of harmful molecules called AGEs compared to healthy people. AGEs build up over time and can cause inflammation. Researchers will use a non-invasive…

This study explores whether a non-invasive skin test can detect long-term inflammation in people with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). Researchers will measure substances called AGEs in the skin and compare them to a blood-based inflammation marker (CALLY index). The study inv…

This study looks at three ways of fasting before surgery in 90 children. One group follows traditional fasting, another gets a carbohydrate drink, and a third can sip clear liquids until called to the operating room. The goal is to see which approach reduces anxiety and keeps the…

This study looks at whether customizing the breathing machine settings during heart surgery can lower the risk of lung complications like pneumonia or collapsed lungs. About 80 adults having planned open-heart surgery will be randomly assigned to either standard settings or setti…

This study looks at whether a common heart procedure done through the wrist (transradial angiography) can cause nerve injury. Researchers will use nerve tests (EMG) on 100 adults to measure any damage. The goal is to better understand the risks, not to test a new treatment.

This study looks at whether a simple, non-invasive skin test can help predict how well osteoporosis medications work. Researchers will measure substances called AGEs in the skin of 240 postmenopausal women starting treatment. The goal is to see if higher AGE levels are linked to …

This study will check if measuring the height from chin to neck (thyromental height) and using ultrasound can help doctors predict when placing a breathing tube will be difficult. About 240 adults having planned surgery will be measured before their operation. The goal is to see …
