This study tested whether using a device called the Pleth Variability Index (PVI) to guide a blood-saving technique (acute normovolemic hemodilution) during heart surgery leads to better fluid balance and fewer complications. Eighty patients undergoing cardiac surgery were enroll…

This study compared two types of nerve blocks for pain after total knee replacement. 60 adults received either an adductor canal block or an erector spinae plane block. The goal was to see which method better reduces pain and the need for opioid painkillers in the first 48 hours …

This study tested a nerve block called SPSIPB to see if it reduces pain and opioid use after open-heart surgery. 70 adults were randomly assigned to receive either the SPSIPB or standard pain management. The goal was to compare pain scores and recovery over 24 hours.

This study looked at 60 people having knee replacement surgery to compare two types of nerve blocks for pain relief: the adductor canal block and the pericapsular nerve group block. The goal was to see which one provides better pain control and helps patients feel more comfortabl…

This study tested whether special nerve blocks (fascial plane blocks) can improve pain control and reduce time on a breathing machine after open-heart surgery. 206 adults having heart surgery were divided into two groups: one received the nerve blocks plus standard pain care, the…

This completed study tested whether botulinum toxin type-A injections relieve pain from myofascial pain syndrome better than a standard local anesthetic (prilocaine). Thirty-eight adults with long-term muscle pain were randomly assigned to receive either botulinum toxin or priloc…

This study tested different volumes of an ultrasound-guided nerve block (adductor canal block) to manage pain after total knee replacement. 90 adults scheduled for knee replacement under spinal anesthesia received one of two volumes. The goal was to see which volume reduces opioi…

This study looked at 60 adults who had chest surgery (thoracotomy) to see which nerve block method works better for pain relief. One group got a single nerve block, while the other got a combination of two blocks. Researchers measured pain scores and painkiller use over 72 hours …

This study tested whether artificial intelligence models can correctly assign a standard surgical risk score (ASA Physical Status) to patients before surgery. Researchers compared AI-generated scores to those given by experienced anesthesiologists in 128 adult patients. The goal …

This completed study with 30 volunteer doctors compared how well they could locate knee, elbow, ankle, and wrist joints by physical exam versus ultrasound. The goal was to measure the gap between clinical touch and imaging truth. Results may help improve training in musculoskelet…

This study tested whether warming or cooling the breathing tube before placing it in children having tonsil surgery could reduce serious breathing complications like throat spasms or drops in oxygen. Researchers compared two groups of children to see if tube temperature made a di…

This study looked at 65 adults with ankylosing spondylitis, a type of arthritis that affects the spine. Researchers wanted to see if a blood test called the CALLY index could measure inflammation better than patient-reported symptoms. They reviewed medical records and compared th…

This study looked at how different anesthesia gas flows affect brain pressure and oxygen levels in women having laparoscopic hysterectomy. 64 women were randomly assigned to either high-flow or low-flow anesthesia. The researchers measured brain pressure indirectly using eye ultr…

This study looked at 60 adults having total knee replacement to see if epidural anesthesia temporarily increases pressure inside the head, measured by ultrasound of the optic nerve sheath. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either epidural or spinal anesthesia. The go…

This completed study looked at anxiety about COVID-19 in 200 adults with rheumatic diseases who were already taking either biologic or conventional disease-modifying drugs. Researchers called participants and asked them to fill out a questionnaire about their coronavirus-related …

This completed study looked at whether vitamin D levels in the blood are linked to how severe COVID-19 gets. Researchers measured vitamin D in 1,100 COVID-19 patients in Turkey. The goal was to see if current vitamin D thresholds reflect real clinical risk. This is an observation…

This study looked at 44 adults with osteoarthritis who took mineral baths (balneotherapy) for three weeks. Researchers used heart ultrasound before and after to see if the baths changed heart function. The goal was to better understand how balneotherapy affects the heart, especia…
