This study tests whether a child-friendly core exercise program, delivered via video, can improve balance and mobility in children aged 6-12 with spastic cerebral palsy. Half of the 54 participants will do the Fun-Core exercises at home 3 times a week for 8 weeks, while the other…

This study tests whether an 8-week online yoga program can improve recovery in lung cancer patients who had lung surgery. Forty participants will either do live yoga sessions three times a week or receive standard care. The goal is to see if tele-yoga boosts exercise capacity, br…

This study tests whether playing virtual reality games can help people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy improve their arm and hand function. 36 participants will either receive standard physiotherapy or the same therapy plus VR games using a Meta Quest 3 headset. The games are de…

This study looks at whether putting thin covers (veneers) on the front teeth can improve the daily life of children aged 11-14 who have a rare genetic condition that makes tooth enamel weak and discolored. Researchers will measure changes in oral health, self-esteem, and social c…

This study looks at whether a custom mouthguard (occlusal splint) can reduce pain and improve muscle function in people with teeth grinding (bruxism) and related jaw and neck muscle pain. About 40 adults will be split into two groups: one gets the mouthguard right away, the other…

This study tests if injecting a sugar-water solution (dextrose prolotherapy) can reduce pain and improve function in people with chronic tailbone pain (coccydynia). The trial will include 40 adults who have had pain for over 6 months and haven't gotten better with standard treatm…

This study tests a new exercise approach for people with long-term shoulder pain caused by rotator cuff problems. Instead of just doing standard shoulder exercises, participants will also perform movements that shift their focus away from the shoulder. The goal is to see if this …

This study tests whether doing mental tasks while performing shoulder exercises can improve pain and function better than standard exercises alone. 46 adults with chronic shoulder pain from rotator cuff issues will participate in a 6-week program. Researchers will measure pain, s…

This study looks at whether adding the blood pressure medication losartan to a standard exercise program can improve pain, movement, and function in people with frozen shoulder. About 33 adults with frozen shoulder will be randomly assigned to receive either exercise alone or exe…

This study tests whether hyaluronic acid injections into the knee can reduce pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. Researchers will also measure changes in inflammation-related substances in blood and joint fluid. 50 adults aged 45-75 with moderate knee os…

This study uses computer models to compare four types of hip socket surgery in children aged 2 to 18 with hip dysplasia. Researchers will create 3D models from MRI scans and simulate each surgery to see how they change socket shape and volume. The goal is to understand which tech…

This study compares two computer-controlled methods (Eleveld and Schnider) for giving propofol anesthesia during spinal fusion surgery. Fifty adults will be randomly assigned to one method, and researchers will track blood pressure, heart rate, and brain activity to see which mod…

This study looks at what happens to the front part of the eye (the cornea) right after smoking a cigarette. Researchers will measure changes in corneal thickness and clarity in 90 healthy adults, comparing smokers to non-smokers. The goal is to understand if smoking causes immedi…

This study is developing a machine learning model to predict whether the spine curve in teens with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis will worsen after a 12-week core stabilization exercise program. Researchers will collect data from 30 participants aged 10-18 with mild to moderate …

This study checks whether using a brain monitor (EEG) during children's surgery affects their behavior 1-2 years later. Researchers will compare kids who had EEG-guided anesthesia to those who had standard care. The goal is to see if better anesthesia depth control reduces long-t…

This study uses ultrasound to measure diaphragm function in children aged 1-12 with suspected obstructive sleep apnea who are having surgery. Researchers will compare these children to those without sleep apnea to see if diaphragm movement differs. The goal is to better understan…
