This study looked at 308 adults getting a stem cell transplant for blood cancer. Researchers compared two antibiotics, ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin, to see which one better prevents bacterial infections after transplant. The goal is to find the best option to keep patients safe…

This study tests whether tissue taken during routine carpal tunnel release surgery can help diagnose amyloidosis, a condition where abnormal proteins build up in organs. People with bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome and certain risk factors—like age, heart issues, or family histor…

This trial tests whether a bedside compression ultrasound performed in the emergency room can diagnose deep vein thrombosis (DVT) faster than the standard formal Doppler scan done in radiology. Researchers will compare how quickly patients with leg swelling suspicious for DVT are…

This completed study looked at how well two different blood tests could detect antibodies against the virus that causes COVID-19. Researchers followed 829 adults who had tested positive for COVID-19, checking their blood during hospitalization and for up to 12 months afterward. T…

This study tests whether virtual prenatal yoga classes can prevent postpartum depression in pregnant women who have a history of depression. About 62 women will be randomly assigned to either take yoga classes or receive standard care. Researchers will track depression symptoms a…

This study tested whether telehealth coaching from a nurse, based on cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (pCBT-I), could prevent or reduce insomnia and depression in 167 adults with low income or education. Participants had early signs of insomnia and were coached to improv…

This study tested whether applying medical-grade honey after bone-anchored hearing aid surgery could prevent skin breakdown better than the usual bacitracin ointment. Seventeen adults were randomly assigned to receive either honey or bacitracin for two weeks after surgery. Resear…

This study looks at how well corticosteroid injections relieve carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms in people whose nerve tests (EMG) are normal or only mildly abnormal. Researchers will review past data from 300 patients who received the injection and filled out a questionnaire about…

This trial tests whether daily bright light therapy can improve sleep and reduce biological aging in people with lung cancer. Participants wear a light visor for 4 weeks and track sleep, fatigue, and stress. The study compares bright light to usual light exposure to see if it hel…

This study tested whether adding telehealth coaching to a digital cognitive behavioral therapy program helps people with insomnia complete the treatment. 700 adults with insomnia were enrolled. The goal was to see if coaching improves adherence and reduces disparities in who bene…

This trial compares two types of nerve blocks—femoral nerve block and adductor canal block—for controlling pain after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Participants receive one of the two blocks before surgery, and researchers track their pain levels and painkiller…

This study looked at 240 adults who had heart surgery to see if giving pain medicine in small, timed doses (boluses) works better than a steady drip (continuous infusion) through a catheter near the spine. The goal was to reduce pain and the need for opioids after surgery. Result…

This study looked at whether a nonopioid pain regimen works as well as standard opioids after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. 90 adults having ACL surgery were randomly assigned to receive either nonopioid or opioid pain control. The goal was to see if the nonopi…

This study looked at whether patients who had a heart catheterization with an Angioseal closure device could get up and walk earlier than usual. 28 patients were involved, and researchers compared early walking to staying flat in bed. The goal was to see if early walking is safe …

This study uses an online survey to learn about the daily work of surgeons specializing in the liver, pancreas, and bile ducts (HPB surgeons). The survey asks members of a professional association about their practice patterns, such as whether they work alone or in teams. The goa…

This study asks whether epidural steroid injections, commonly used for back pain, can reduce bone density in postmenopausal women. Researchers will track bone turnover markers and bone mineral density in women aged 55–80 over a year after a single injection. The goal is to see if…
