This study looks at whether high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or moderate continuous exercise is better at rebuilding muscle and improving function in people who have had a stroke and suffer from muscle loss (sarcopenia). About 32 adults who had a stroke 1-6 months ago will…

This study compares three exercise programs to see which best improves balance in healthy adults aged 65 and older. Participants will do core stabilization exercises, amplitude-based exercises, or a combination of both. The goal is to reduce fall risk and improve mobility and qua…

This study compares two treatments for chronic neck pain: adding connective tissue massage or electrotherapy (heat, ultrasound, TENS) to standard neck and shoulder exercises. About 27 adults aged 18-65 with non-specific neck pain will be randomly assigned to one of three groups f…

This study looks at whether special mental imagery exercises or task-focused training can improve shoulder pain and movement better than standard physical therapy. About 66 adults with shoulder impingement will be split into three groups and treated for 6 weeks. The goal is to fi…

This study tests a 12-week pelvic floor exercise program for women aged 65 and older who have stress urinary incontinence (bladder leaks with coughing, sneezing, or movement). One group will do standard exercises, while the other will also watch and imagine themed videos (like ho…

This study tests a non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear to see if it can improve breathing strength in people who had a stroke 1-3 years ago. Researchers will measure lung function in 50 participants before and after the treatment. The goal is to find a s…

This study looks at whether skin-to-skin contact (kangaroo care) combined with a mother's voice and special positioning can improve comfort, growth, and the ability to eat by mouth in preterm infants born at 30-34 weeks. About 68 babies will be split into two groups: one gets dai…

This study looks at how the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) changes after a stroke and how that relates to breathing strength. Researchers will measure diaphragm movement and thickness using ultrasound, and test breathing muscle strength in 38 adults who had a stroke 1-6 mo…

This study looks at how different caregiving models—like being raised by relatives, a nanny, or in daycare—affect the development, sensory processing, and sleep of children aged 3 to 6. Researchers will compare 135 preschoolers using standard questionnaires. The goal is to unders…
