This study aims to confirm if a new, less invasive surgical technique can effectively treat a painful nerve condition in the elbow. Doctors will use ultrasound guidance to precisely cut a tight ligament that is pinching the median nerve, which causes pain and weakness in the hand…

This study compares two approaches for treating brain metastases that require surgery. One group receives targeted radiation before surgery, while the other receives it after surgery. The goal is to determine which timing better prevents the tumor from growing back in the same sp…

This study aims to see if a newer, vitamin-E enriched plastic liner in hip replacement cups wears down slower than the conventional plastic liner. It will involve 96 patients in France aged 55-80 who are getting a total hip replacement. Researchers will use special X-ray software…

This study aims to understand how well people can return to sports five years after having surgery for a chronically unstable ankle. Researchers will follow 200 adults who have had either ligament reconstruction or repair surgery. Participants will visit the clinic once a year fo…

This study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation technique can help reduce symptoms in people with schizophrenia who haven't gotten enough relief from standard medications. It will involve 36 adults aged 18-40 who have a history of childhood trauma and are still…

This study is testing a new medical device called SureTrac that helps doctors remove large, pre-cancerous growths (polyps) from the colon. The device is designed to gently pull on the polyp during a non-surgical procedure, making it easier to remove in one piece. Researchers want…

This study aims to see if measurements from the breathing machine used during lung surgery can predict which patients will develop air leaks afterward. Air leaks are the most common reason for longer hospital stays after lung surgery and often require painful drainage tubes. Rese…

This study aims to test two new, advanced ultrasound imaging techniques to improve the diagnosis of pancreatic tumors. It will involve 150 adults with a solid pancreatic mass. The goal is to see if these new methods can better distinguish between aggressive pancreatic cancer and …

This study aims to see if a 24-hour course of antibiotics before bladder or urinary tract surgery is as effective as the standard 48-hour course at preventing post-surgery infections. It will involve nearly 900 adult patients who have bacteria in their urine but no symptoms. The …

This study is testing a new type of brace with a built-in pillow support for people recovering from rotator cuff surgery. The goal is to see if this special brace helps patients sleep better by reducing nighttime shoulder pain compared to the standard brace. Researchers will enro…

This study is testing if adding an intravenous numbing medicine (lidocaine) to standard spinal morphine pain relief can help patients use less morphine after major abdominal surgery. It will involve 76 adults having planned open abdominal surgery. Patients will be randomly assign…

This study compares how two different treatments for prostate cancer affect men's quality of life. Researchers will follow 102 men with favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer who receive either complete prostate removal surgery or a newer, more targeted ultrasound treatment.…

This study is testing whether a mental practice program, where patients imagine performing leg movements, helps improve recovery after surgery to repair a torn knee ligament (ACL). Researchers will compare 70 patients who do this mental imagery along with their standard physical …

This study aims to find out if using only local numbing anesthesia leads to a quicker recovery after rotator cuff shoulder surgery compared to using both local and general anesthesia. It will involve 34 adults needing this common outpatient procedure. Researchers will measure how…

This study aims to see if a new combination of four nerve blocks provides better pain relief after knee replacement surgery compared to the current standard method. Researchers will enroll 100 adults with knee arthritis who are scheduled for knee replacement. They will measure re…

This study aims to understand why thigh muscles weaken after an ACL knee ligament tear. Researchers will measure electrical muscle activity in 90 adults with recent ACL injuries to see if the level of muscle 'shutdown' matches their physical exam results. The goal is to gather kn…

This study aims to understand if a specific hip condition (femoroacetabular impingement or FAI) is related to tearing the ACL, a major knee ligament. Researchers will use detailed 3D MRI scans to look at the hip bones of 50 adults who have recently torn their ACL. The goal is to …

This study aims to understand when amateur athletes can safely return to sports after ACL knee reconstruction surgery. Researchers will follow 230 young athletes for up to two years, tracking their recovery using a set of specific physical tests like jumps and strength measuremen…

This study aims to understand if changes in a patient's natural breathing pattern can signal when they are getting worse and might need a ventilator. Researchers will use a non-invasive sensor to monitor 60 adults in the ICU who are on high-flow oxygen therapy for severe breathin…
