This study compares a new bioactive filling material to a standard resin composite for treating cavities. 31 adults with at least two cavities will receive both types of fillings and be monitored for up to 4 years. The goal is to see which material performs better in terms of dur…

This study tested four different types of tooth-colored fillings (flowable resin composites) to see which works best for fixing cavities. Twenty-eight adults each received at least four fillings, and the fillings were checked over two years. The goal was to find out if newer, sel…

This study compares three types of dental filling materials for repairing non-carious cervical lesions (tooth damage not caused by cavities). Thirty-three adults with at least three such lesions will receive each material in different teeth. Over two years, dentists will rate how…

This study compared two types of tooth fillings for cavities between teeth. 23 adults received either a glass ionomer or a bulk-fill composite resin filling. The fillings were checked at regular visits over 4 years to see how well they held up. The goal was to find out which mate…

This study compares two types of tooth-colored fillings for cavities on the chewing surface of back teeth. One is a new injectable resin composite, and the other is a conventional composite. Over 24 months, researchers will check how well each filling stays in place, resists stai…

This study compares two types of tooth-colored filling materials for cavities between teeth. 54 healthy adults aged 18-60 received fillings using either a standard bulk-fill composite or a newer thermoviscous material. Researchers will check the fillings at 6 and 12 months for ho…

This study compares three different dental adhesives used to repair non-carious cervical lesions (tooth damage not caused by cavities). Eighteen adults with at least three such lesions will receive restorations using a flowable composite resin. The goal is to see which adhesive p…

This study tests whether a special therapy using sights, sounds, touch, and other senses can help people with moderate Alzheimer's think clearer, feel calmer, and behave better. It also looks at whether this therapy reduces stress for their caregivers. Twenty-four people aged 65 …

This study compares two exercise programs—asynchronous telerehabilitation (remote guidance) and a standard home exercise plan—for people with piriformis syndrome, a condition causing buttock and leg pain. About 46 adults aged 18-45 with confirmed diagnosis will participate. The g…

This study tested whether laser therapy, a remineralizing paste called Remin Pro, or both together can reduce pain from sensitive teeth. Twenty-five adults with at least four sensitive teeth received one of the treatments and reported their pain levels over 12 months. The goal wa…

This study looks at whether adding special pain education to exercise can help people with long-term lower back pain that involves a sensitized nervous system. Twenty adults with chronic back pain will receive motor control exercises with or without pain neuroscience education. R…

This study compares a mind-body approach called Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) to standard physiotherapy and home exercise for people with knee osteoarthritis. BBAT focuses on gentle, mindful movements to improve posture, balance, and pain management. Researchers will measur…

This study tests whether adding a gentle, weight-bearing walking exercise to standard core stability exercises can improve pain, balance, and muscle function in people with chronic low back pain. Twenty adults aged 30-55 will participate in a 6-week program. The goal is to see if…

This study tests a 12-session personalized program for adults 65 and older who have fallen at least once in the past year. The program focuses on balance, safe walking, home adjustments, and activities that matter to each person. Researchers will measure improvements in balance, …

This study tests whether adding virtual reality (VR) to standard physical therapy helps people recover better after lumbar disc surgery. About 46 adults who had surgery on their lower back will either get standard therapy or standard therapy plus a 20-minute VR session. Researche…

This study tests a person-centered lifestyle program for 70 adults with chronic low back pain. The program helps participants build healthy routines and problem-solving skills through meaningful activities. Researchers will measure changes in pain, daily function, quality of life…

This study tests a client-centered coping skills training program for people with migraine. Over 8 sessions, participants learn techniques like stress management and activity pacing to reduce pain and improve quality of life. The trial follows 60 adults for 6 months to see if the…

This study looks at whether strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle can improve shoulder space, reduce pain, and boost function in people with rotator cuff tendinopathy. 47 adults aged 18-50 with ongoing shoulder pain will be split into three groups: rotator cuff exercises only…

This study looks at whether smoking changes how well a universal dental adhesive works when repairing tooth cavities near the gum line. Researchers tested three different ways of applying the adhesive in 47 adults who smoke at least 10 cigarettes a day. The goal is to see if smok…

This study looks at a dental technique called deep margin elevation (DME), where the edge of a filling is moved from below the gum line to above it. Researchers want to see if this helps keep gums healthier compared to leaving the edge below the gum. The study involves 45 adults …

This study tests a structured school program designed to help 9th graders in Hatay, Turkey—an area hit by a major earthquake in 2023—feel more connected, find meaning, and build resilience. Sixty teens will take part in group activities and discussions. Researchers will measure c…

This study looks at how the way the lower back and pelvis move together (lumbopelvic rhythm) impacts balance, daily activities, and quality of life in 50 adolescents aged 10-18 with idiopathic scoliosis. Researchers will use motion sensors and balance platforms to measure these m…
