This study investigates whether adding a contract-relax physical therapy technique to standard respiratory care can improve diaphragm function in patients who develop diaphragmatic paresis after cardiac surgery. The trial enrolls adults who have undergone heart surgery with a hea…

This study tested whether giving low doses of two steroids (hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone) helps adults with cardiogenic shock, a life-threatening condition where the heart can't pump enough blood. 380 participants received either the steroids or a placebo. The main goal was…

This study tested two ways of managing breathing during heart bypass surgery to see which better prevents lung complications. Over 1,500 adults having planned heart surgery were randomly assigned to either no breathing support or gentle, low-volume breaths while on the heart-lung…

This study looked at 87 adults who had a two-step spinal fusion surgery for isthmic spondylolisthesis, a condition where a vertebra slips forward. The surgery combines an anterior approach (through the abdomen) with a posterior approach (through the back) to stabilize the spine. …

This study tested whether a low-dose infusion of landiolol, a short-acting beta-blocker, could prevent atrial fibrillation in 400 non-Asian patients after cardiac surgery. Participants received either landiolol or a placebo for up to 48 hours after surgery. The goal was to see if…

This study tested a new way to numb only the front part of the foot for surgery, leaving the heel sensation intact. The goal was to see if this approach could provide good pain relief while allowing patients to walk earlier. Twenty-seven adults having foot surgery received a targ…

This study tested whether naloxegol, a drug used for constipation caused by painkillers, can help people who had heart surgery recover normal bowel function faster. About 305 adults participated. The goal was to see if taking naloxegol around the time of surgery reduces the time …

This study tested if a simpler numbing method called WALANT works as well as a standard arm block for carpal tunnel release surgery. WALANT involves injecting numbing medicine directly into the wrist area, avoiding the need for a tourniquet or sedation. The trial included 130 adu…

This study tested whether using a drug called dexmedetomidine instead of opioids during hip replacement surgery could reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers afterward. 80 adults undergoing hip replacement took part. The goal was to see if this approach leads to better pa…

This study tested whether giving the sedative drug dexmedetomidine during knee replacement surgery could lengthen the time before patients need additional painkillers. 94 adults having elective knee replacement under regional anesthesia received either the drug or a placebo. The …

This study tested whether wearing HappyMed video glasses (which play films or concerts) during egg retrieval for IVF could reduce the amount of sedative drugs needed. 36 women were randomly assigned to use the glasses or receive standard care. The goal was to see if distraction c…

This study tested whether a parasternal block—an injection of the numbing drug ropivacaine into the chest wall—could reduce the amount of anesthetic needed to keep heart rate and blood pressure stable during coronary artery bypass surgery. Thirty-five patients were randomly assig…

This study tested whether using the WALANT technique (numbing the hand with local anesthetic and epinephrine) along with nerve blocks at the wrist could make carpal tunnel release surgery more comfortable than using a standard tourniquet. 60 adults having endoscopic carpal tunnel…

This study tested whether using virtual reality (VR) can help reduce pain and anxiety in people recovering from heart surgery, specifically when chest tubes are removed. 200 adults who had just had heart surgery were given either VR or nitrous oxide (laughing gas) during the proc…

This study tested whether a device called Optiflow, which delivers warm, humidified oxygen through the nose, could replace the usual face mask during the start of anesthesia. The goal was to see if it could safely oxygenate patients without needing to hold a mask on their face. S…

This study followed 143 people who had a defibrillator (ICD) replaced to see if testing the device's ability to deliver a shock is safe and useful. The test involves briefly inducing a fast heart rhythm under anesthesia. The goal was to check for device problems, like abnormal sh…

This study tested whether an artificial intelligence (AI) model can accurately measure heart rhythm changes (QTc) from ECGs in 70 breast cancer patients starting the drug ribociclib. The goal was to see if simpler ECG devices could work as well as standard 12-lead machines when a…

This study tested whether a simple electronic wristband could help doctors understand how patients recover after heart surgery. 137 adults wore the wristband for two months after leaving the hospital, and it counted their daily steps. The goal was to measure when patients returne…

This completed study used ultrasound to look at a recently discovered tendon in the shoulder called the delto-pectoral tendon (DPT). Researchers examined 46 adults with upper limb injuries to measure this tendon and understand how it connects with other shoulder structures. The g…

This study tracked 157 heart surgery patients to see how many still have a weak diaphragm 7 days after their operation. Using ultrasound, researchers measured diaphragm movement during breathing and sniffing. The goal is to understand how common persistent diaphragm problems are …

This study looked at whether catalepsy (a state of rigid body posture) helps people go into a deeper hypnotic trance. Researchers measured relaxation through a heart monitor in 90 healthy volunteers. The goal was to see if adding body dissociation makes hypnosis more intense.

This study looked at how the thymus gland, which produces immune cells called T cells, might influence COVID-19 severity. Researchers compared 85 hospitalized patients with and without COVID-19 to see if genetic differences in thymus function were linked to worse lung damage. The…

This study looked at whether special ultrasound measurements of the urethra can predict how severe a woman's stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising) will be. Researchers measured the length and angle of the urethra in 50 adult women. The…

This completed study tested whether a liver ultrasound could detect right-sided heart failure after cardiac surgery. Researchers measured blood flow in the portal vein using Doppler ultrasound in 32 high-risk patients within 24 hours of surgery. The goal was to see if this simple…
