This study tests whether switching from solid fuels (like wood or coal) to liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and adding kitchen ventilation can reduce harmful indoor air pollution and improve heart and lung health. About 1,200 adults who cook daily will be placed into four groups: so…

This study is testing whether taking daily vitamin D3 or yeast beta-glucan (a type of fiber) supplements can improve blood sugar control and lower the risk of heart disease in people with type 2 diabetes. The trial will involve 2,500 adults aged 40 to 79 and will last 5 years, in…

This study compares robotic ultrasound to traditional sonographer-led screening for breast cancer in 70,000 women aged 35-64. Participants will receive either a robot or human-performed ultrasound and be followed based on results. The goal is to see if robotic screening detects m…

This study is testing a new artificial intelligence (AI) model called Cyst-AI that uses endoscopic ultrasound images along with other clinical information to help doctors more accurately diagnose different types of pancreatic cysts. The goal is to tell apart harmless cysts from t…

This study looks at whether taking vitamin D or prebiotics (a type of fiber) during early pregnancy can help control blood sugar in women at high risk for gestational diabetes. About 500 pregnant women will take either supplements or a placebo from weeks 6-15 of pregnancy. The go…

This study tests whether two natural substances, urolithin A and fisetin, can improve sleep quality and reduce signs of aging in adults aged 30 to 75 with poor sleep. Eighty participants will take daily capsules of one or both compounds, or a placebo, for 12 weeks. Researchers wi…

This study tests whether a long-acting numbing drug (liposomal bupivacaine) plus a standard numbing medicine works better than the usual numbing medicine (ropivacaine) for pain after hip replacement. About 60 adults with hip fractures or hip damage will receive one of the two tre…

This study is testing a new way to numb the arm for hand and forearm surgery by targeting a specific nerve root (C7) with an ultrasound-guided injection. The goal is to find the smallest amount of the numbing drug ropivacaine that still works well, which could reduce side effects…

This study tests whether adding acupuncture to IVF treatment can improve pregnancy rates for women who have had repeated implantation failure. About 771 women aged 25-40 will be randomly assigned to receive real acupuncture, sham acupuncture, or no acupuncture alongside their IVF…

This study tests three different numbing medicine combinations for knee replacement surgery. The goal is to find which one provides the best pain relief with fewer side effects. About 90 adults having knee replacement will receive one of the three numbing approaches. The results …

This study looks at why some children become confused and agitated after waking up from anesthesia (emergence delirium). Researchers will monitor brain waves (EEG) in 400 children under 16 having elective surgery to see if they can predict this reaction. The goal is to better und…

This study looks at why some people become confused and disoriented after heart surgery. Researchers will monitor brain waves (EEG) in 200 adults before, during, and after surgery to find patterns that might predict this confusion. The goal is to better understand the condition a…

This study tests a new device that measures how relaxed a patient's muscles are during surgery. It compares the new device to a standard monitor in 100 adults having elective surgery. The goal is to see if the new device is easier to use and just as accurate, which could help pre…

This study watches brain activity (EEG) in 250 adults during the start of anesthesia to find better ways to measure how deep the unconsciousness is. Current monitors don't work well with all drugs, so researchers hope to create a more reliable system. Participants will have their…

This study looks for substances in the blood that could help doctors know which patients might become confused after heart surgery. About 113 adults having heart surgery will give blood samples to measure certain markers linked to inflammation and Alzheimer's disease. The goal is…
