This pilot study tested whether adding a special type of electrical stimulation to standard wound care helps heal chronic pressure injuries (bedsores) in people with spinal cord or brain injuries. Twenty adults with stage II-IV pressure sores that hadn't healed after four weeks o…

This study tested whether adding functional electrical stimulation (FES) bicycle ergometry to robotic rehabilitation helps people with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury walk better. 38 participants completed 20 sessions over 4 weeks. The goal was to see if the combination imp…

This study compared two treatments for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis): shock wave therapy and a single injection of 5% dextrose (sugar water). 96 adults with persistent pain for at least 3 months were split into three groups: standard care alone, standard care plus shock wa…

This study tested a special nursing approach, called the Tidal Model, to help caregivers of people with traumatic brain injury. 18 caregivers took part and the program aimed to reduce their anxiety, depression, and burnout. The approach focused on understanding each caregiver's p…

This study tested whether using ultrasound along with fluoroscopy (X-ray) for sacroiliac joint injections reduces procedure time and radiation exposure compared to fluoroscopy alone. The trial involved 38 adults with chronic low back or gluteal pain who had not responded to conse…

This study tested two types of magnetic brain stimulation (iTBS and rTMS) combined with robotic walking therapy in 30 people with chronic spinal cord injury. The goal was to see if these treatments could improve leg strength, walking ability, and daily independence. All participa…

This study tested two types of radiofrequency ablation—a procedure that uses heat to calm pain-signaling nerves—in 26 people with advanced knee osteoarthritis whose pain didn't improve with standard treatments. The goal was to see which method, conventional or cooled, better redu…

This study tested if sound wave therapy (ESWT) can reduce pain from bone spurs in people who lost a leg due to trauma. 29 male amputees received either real or fake shockwave therapy plus exercise. Researchers measured pain, function, and spur size before, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks a…

This completed study tested whether an injection of 5% dextrose (a sugar solution) works as well as a steroid (betamethasone) to relieve pain and symptoms in people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Thirty participants received one of the two ultrasound-guided injecti…

This study tested two treatments for painful nerve growths (stump neuromas) that can occur after a leg amputation. 26 adults received either a steroid injection or a procedure using heat (radiofrequency ablation) guided by ultrasound. The goal was to see which treatment better re…

This completed study tested whether manual therapy (hands-on treatment) on the neck can reduce tinnitus in people whose ringing ears are linked to neck pain. 31 adults with somatic tinnitus received either manual therapy or neck exercises. The goal was to see if treating the neck…

This study tested two different therapies to help people who recently had a stroke regain leg movement and balance. One therapy used a mirror to trick the brain into thinking the affected leg was moving, while the other used a special bike that gave small electrical pulses to the…

This study looked at whether nerve signals (called sympathetic skin response) are linked to how well women respond to standard lymphedema therapy after breast cancer surgery. Thirty women with lymphedema and thirty healthy women had nerve tests and filled out symptom questionnair…

This completed study looked at 44 stroke patients to see how their bone density differs between the paralyzed and non-paralyzed leg. Researchers measured bone density in the hip and spine using a special X-ray scan. The goal was to better understand which clinical factors are lin…

This completed study surveyed 70 women with spinal cord injury to learn about their experiences with fertility, contraception, and pregnancy. Researchers asked closed- and open-ended questions to understand how the injury affects decisions about having children and choosing birth…

This study looked at 70 family caregivers of stroke patients who also have bladder issues. Researchers measured how much burden, fatigue, poor sleep, and depression caregivers experience. The goal was to understand the challenges these caregivers face, not to test a new treatment…

This completed study looked at 341 Turkish patients with chronic stroke to measure how far they could walk in 6 minutes. The goal was to establish reference values for walking endurance and find out what factors influence walking distance. Participants were between 18 and 80 year…
