This study tests whether using an antibiotic (gentamicin) in the irrigation fluid and a special suction tube during kidney stone surgery can lower the chance of fever, inflammation, or sepsis afterward. About 180 adults having this surgery will be randomly assigned to receive one…

This study compares two breathing machine settings during kidney stone surgery to see which one gives surgeons a clearer, steadier view inside the kidney. Sixty adults having elective surgery will be randomly assigned to either normal or low tidal volume ventilation. The goal is …

This study compares two noninvasive treatments—shock wave therapy and low-level laser therapy—for tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). Fifty adults with at least six weeks of elbow pain will receive one of the treatments plus a brace and exercises. Researchers will measure pain,…

This study tests two different tubes used during kidney stone surgery to see which one works better. One tube has suction to remove stone pieces and fluid, while the other does not. Researchers will track how many patients are stone-free after surgery and compare complication rat…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks to control pain after total knee replacement. 78 adults will receive one of two combinations of ultrasound-guided injections near the knee. The goal is to see which approach reduces pain and the need for opioid painkillers in the firs…

This study compares two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to control pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Seventy adults will receive either a modified thoracoabdominal nerve block or a recto-intercostal fascial plane block. The goal is to see which block reduces the need fo…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks—suprainguinal fascia iliaca block (SIFI) and quadro-iliac plane block (QIPB)—for pain relief after hip fracture surgery. Researchers will enroll 70 adults undergoing hip fracture repair and measure pain scores and opioid use. The goal…

This study tests whether a more detailed way of tracking heart and blood pressure (called advanced hemodynamic monitoring) can reduce problems like low blood pressure or slow heart rate during a procedure called ERCP, which uses a scope to examine the bile ducts. About 32 adults …

This study compares spinal anesthesia to general anesthesia in men undergoing open simple prostatectomy for an enlarged prostate. The goal is to see if spinal anesthesia leads to less postoperative bleeding, such as fewer blood transfusions or less need for bladder irrigation. Ei…

This study looks at whether respiratory physiotherapy can prevent or reduce thinning of the diaphragm—the main breathing muscle—in patients who are on mechanical ventilators in the ICU. Researchers will measure diaphragm thickness using ultrasound in 66 adults who have been on a …
