This study tested a nerve block called PENG to reduce pain when positioning patients for spinal anesthesia before hip fracture surgery. 60 adults aged 18-90 took part. The goal was to see if the block improves comfort and reduces pain after surgery.

This study tested whether a specific nerve block (erector spinae plane block) can improve pain control after kidney transplant surgery. 40 adults with kidney failure were randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block plus standard painkillers or standard painkillers alone. …

This study tested a new type of nerve block, called M-TAPA, to see if it helps control pain after a laparoscopic hysterectomy. Fifty women having the surgery received the block, and their pain was measured over 24 hours. The goal was to see if this block reduces pain and the need…

This study tested whether avoiding opioids during gallbladder surgery could improve recovery. 101 adults having laparoscopic gallbladder removal were randomly assigned to receive either opioid-free anesthesia (using lidocaine and dexmedetomidine) or standard opioid-based anesthes…

This study tested whether giving lidocaine before placing a breathing tube can reduce sore throat after surgery. 100 adults having gallbladder surgery were split into two groups: one received lidocaine, the other a placebo. Throat pain was checked at several points after surgery.…

This study tested two drugs, magnesium sulfate and dexmedetomidine, to see which works better for pain control during bladder tumor surgery. 93 adults having surgery under spinal anesthesia took part. Results showed that magnesium sulfate lowered pain scores, delayed the need for…

This study tested two different nerve block techniques to reduce pain after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. 90 adults were randomly assigned to receive either a modified thoracoabdominal nerve block or an oblique subcostal TAP block. Researchers measured pain scores and how …

This study looked at two different doses of tranexamic acid (TXA), a drug that helps blood clot, to see which works better at reducing blood loss during spinal surgery. 62 adults having surgery on three or more spine bones took part. The goal was to find the best dose to lower bl…

This study looked at whether aerobic exercise or computer-based cognitive training better helps thinking skills in people with schizophrenia. Fifty-eight adults with schizophrenia took part. Researchers measured changes in memory, attention, and problem-solving using standard tes…

This study looked at 35 adults with schizophrenia to measure their physical activity, balance, muscle strength, and thinking abilities. The goal was to better understand the challenges these patients face in daily life. Researchers used simple tests like handgrip strength, balanc…

This study looked at 60 adults having laparoscopic colorectal surgery to see if using 80% oxygen instead of the usual 100% during breathing tube removal affects oxygen levels. The goal was to find a safer way to prevent low oxygen and avoid harm from too much oxygen. Researchers …

This study looked at 90 pregnant women having planned C-sections to see if the length of time they fasted before surgery changed their stomach volume. Researchers used ultrasound to measure stomach contents and checked for nausea and vomiting after surgery. The goal was to find t…

This study looked at whether using a special monitor called Oxygen Reserve Index (ORI) during nose surgery can prevent giving patients too much oxygen, which can cause cell stress. Sixty adults having rhinoplasty were randomly assigned to have oxygen levels guided by ORI or stand…

This study looked at two ways of giving anesthesia during kidney stone surgery. 62 adults were split into two groups: one got a very low gas flow (minimal-flow) and the other a slightly higher flow (low-flow). The main goal was to see how much anesthesia medicine was used. The st…

This study looked at 30 children having brain surgery to see if a small amount of breathing support (called PEEP) changes pressure inside the head. Doctors measured the nerve behind the eye as a way to check brain pressure. They found that using low-level PEEP did not raise press…
