This study looked at whether Botox injections, combined with physical therapy, can improve selective motor control (the ability to move one joint at a time) in children with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy. Forty children aged 4-12 received Botox in their spastic muscles plus 30 …

This study compared two surgical methods—sacrospinous fixation and v-notes lateral suspension—for treating pelvic organ prolapse in 70 women aged 35-75. Researchers measured how well each surgery restored anatomy and improved quality of life. The goal is to find which approach of…

This study followed 107 postmenopausal women for one year to see if bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) helps reduce menopause-related health issues. Participants received transdermal estradiol and, if needed, progesterone as part of their regular care. Researchers com…

This study looked at whether a simple ultrasound of the jugular vein and certain shock indices can predict low blood pressure after spinal anesthesia in C-sections. Researchers measured the jugular vein collapsibility index and several shock indices in 60 pregnant women. The goal…

This study compared two types of nerve blocks (lumbar vs. sacral erector spinae plane block) for pain after single-level lumbar microdiscectomy surgery. 88 adults were enrolled to see which block reduced pain scores and the need for extra painkillers like tramadol. The goal is to…

This study looked at whether adding supervised Pilates exercises and structured prenatal education to standard care could reduce depressive symptoms, low back pain, and labor pain in first-time mothers. 85 pregnant women participated, with some attending the program and others re…

This study compared two treatments for plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain: shock wave therapy and whole body vibration. Sixty adults with heel pain for at least 4 weeks were randomly assigned to one of the treatments. The goal was to see which better reduces pain and …

This study looked at whether injecting a dextrose (sugar) solution into the ligaments around the tailbone can reduce pain and improve daily function in people with long-lasting coccydynia (tailbone pain). Researchers reviewed records of 50 adults who received 3-6 injections over …

This study looked at whether adding mud therapy (peloidotherapy) to standard care (wrist splint and exercises) can further reduce pain and improve hand function in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. 70 adults took part, with half receiving mud therapy plus stand…

This study compared two methods for controlling pain after a planned C-section: a nerve block (quadratus lumborum block) and a spinal injection of morphine. 118 women who had a C-section under spinal anesthesia took part. The main goal was to see which method reduced the need for…

This study tested whether adding virtual reality games to standard rehabilitation helps people who had a stroke improve arm function. Forty adults within one year of their first stroke participated. Results measured arm movement, daily activities, and participation levels.

This study looked at whether teens with idiopathic scoliosis (a spine curve) have different pelvic floor muscle activity compared to healthy teens. Researchers measured muscle activation using a special device and also checked quality of life. The goal was to better understand ho…

This study compared two common biopsy methods—Pipelle and Karman cannula—for diagnosing abnormal uterine bleeding in 480 women. All participants received the same local anesthetic to ensure fair pain comparison. The goal was to see which method provides better tissue samples and …

This completed study from Turkey examined vitamin B12 and folic acid levels in 104 fibromyalgia patients before and after they started antiepileptic treatment. Researchers wanted to see if these drugs, already known to lower B12 and folate in epilepsy patients, have the same effe…

This study checked whether hot air balloon pilots, who are exposed to burner noise and air pressure changes, have more hearing, eustachian tube, or balance problems than other adults. About 105 pilots and non-pilots took part in safe, non-invasive hearing and balance tests. The g…

This completed study looked at 61 adolescents aged 6-18 with pectus deformities (sunken or protruding chest). Researchers used ultrasound to measure diaphragm thickness and compared it to standard breathing tests. The goal was to see if diaphragm thickness could serve as an early…

This completed study looked at 30 patients with septic shock in the ICU. Researchers wanted to see how high doses of the drug norepinephrine affect not just large blood vessels, but also tiny ones (microcirculation). They used a non-invasive light-based device to measure oxygen l…

This study looked at 46 women who chose to have their fallopian tubes removed for permanent birth control. Researchers compared two surgical methods: one through the belly button and one through the vagina. They measured a hormone called AMH before and after surgery to see if eit…

This study looked at vitamin B12 and folic acid levels in 96 people with nerve pain before and after they started taking antiepileptic drugs. The goal was to see if these medications lower important vitamin levels. No new treatment was tested; the researchers simply reviewed past…
