This study tests whether adding a special tape (kinesio taping) to standard rehab helps stroke survivors improve their balance, coordination, and daily activities. Sixty adults who had a stroke at least a month ago will be split into two groups: one gets rehab plus the tape, the …

This study compares two common treatments for shoulder pain: kinesiologic taping (a special tape applied to the skin) and dry needling (thin needles inserted into muscle trigger points). Researchers want to see which works better alone or if using both together helps more. The st…

This study compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks—modified thoracolumbar interfascial plane block and quadro-iliac plane block—for pain relief after lower back surgery. About 80 adults undergoing elective lumbar instrumentation will receive one of the two blocks. The goal is…

This study tests whether a special nerve block called 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 nerve block plus standard care or standard care alone. The goal is…

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 planned heart surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either ketamine or a placebo. Resear…

This study looks at two ways to predict if placing a breathing tube during surgery will be hard. One method uses a simple ruler to measure the neck, and the other uses ultrasound. Researchers will check these methods in 240 adults having planned surgery to see which one works bet…

This study looks at whether harmful molecules called AGEs build up more in people with rheumatic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis compared to healthy individuals. Researchers will use a non-invasive device that shines a light on the skin to measure AGE…

This study aims to find out how often nerve injury happens after a common heart procedure done through the wrist (transradial angiography). Researchers will use nerve tests (EMG) on 100 adults to measure any damage. The goal is to better understand the safety of this approach.

This study will follow 240 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis who are starting bone-strengthening drugs. Researchers will measure AGEs (a substance linked to aging) in the skin using a simple light test. The goal is to see if higher AGE levels make the drugs less effective an…

This study will check if a simple, non-invasive skin test can measure long-term inflammation in people with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). Researchers will compare these skin measurements with a blood-based inflammation score called the CALLY index. About 150 adults with FMF…

This study looks at three ways of fasting before surgery in 90 children having groin or genital procedures. The goal is to see which approach reduces anxiety and keeps the stomach safe for anesthesia. Researchers will measure anxiety levels and use ultrasound to check stomach con…
