This trial tests an automated system called ADIVA that delivers two medications to control blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery. Low blood pressure is a common side effect of spinal anesthesia and can cause problems for both mother and baby. The system ai…

This trial is testing a new smart pump (VPIA) that delivers morphine for pain after surgery while continuously monitoring breathing. The goal is to see if this system can provide effective pain relief while reducing the risk of breathing problems. The study involves adults aged 2…

This trial tests whether a technique called PICSI, which selects sperm by their ability to bind to hyaluronic acid, can improve pregnancy rates and reduce miscarriage compared to standard ICSI. It involves couples who had poor fertilization in their first IVF cycle and are now tr…

This trial tests a new pain relief system for women after surgery. The system delivers morphine through an IV, but it uses a smart algorithm that watches oxygen levels, breathing, and heart rate in real time. If these vital signs show a problem, the pump can adjust the pain medic…

This trial tests whether an automated video analysis algorithm can detect pain in post-surgical patients by analyzing their facial expressions and body movements. Participants will be videotaped with a smartphone before and after surgery or pain procedures, and their reported pai…

This trial tests whether giving women who had gestational diabetes a continuous glucose monitor and a FitBit can help them adopt healthier habits and prevent type 2 diabetes. Participants will wear the sensor for up to 14 days and use the tracker to monitor their activity. The st…

This trial tests whether a comprehensive lifestyle program, called HELMS, can improve the health of overweight women and their children. The program starts before conception and continues through pregnancy and the first 18 months of the child's life, including health screenings, …

This trial asks whether the type of pain relief a woman receives during labor can influence her risk of developing postnatal depression. About 10-15% of new mothers experience postnatal depression, and this study compares epidural analgesia with non-epidural options like laughing…

This trial tests a new epidural pump method for women in labor. The method, called variable volume automated mandatory boluses, delivers pain medication in a way that may spread the drug more evenly, potentially reducing leg weakness while still controlling pain. The study includ…

This trial tests whether giving a low dose of S-ketamine during anesthesia can reduce the need for morphine and its side effects in women undergoing open abdominal hysterectomy for benign conditions. Half the participants receive S-ketamine, while the other half receive a placebo…

This trial tests whether listening to music for 30 minutes before and after surgery can reduce pain, anxiety, and the need for painkillers in women undergoing gynecologic surgery. Participants will choose from several music genres and report their pain, anxiety, and satisfaction …

This trial tests three ways of delivering epidural pain relief during labour in first-time mothers. The goal is to see which method best prevents breakthrough pain—when the epidural wears off and extra pain relief is needed. The study also looks at whether better pain control cou…

This trial tests whether using virtual reality (VR) relaxation before and after gynecologic surgery can reduce anxiety and pain. About 220 women undergoing day or inpatient gynecologic procedures will either use a VR headset with calming scenes or receive standard care. Researche…

This study looks at whether weekly group drumming for 8 weeks can improve the health of people aged 60 and older living in the community. Researchers will measure changes in quality of life, depression, sleep, and blood pressure. 300 participants will take part, and the goal is t…

This study looks at whether measuring the arm or finger can help choose the right blood pressure cuff size for pregnant women. Accurate blood pressure readings are vital during pregnancy and childbirth, but the current method of sizing cuffs may not always be correct. Researchers…

This study tests whether a smart ring (Oura Ring) can be used to monitor physical activity and sleep in healthy pregnant women from the first to third trimester. Researchers will assess how acceptable and easy the ring is to use, and whether maternal factors like age, weight gain…

This study looks at whether a quick pain sensitivity test, called mechanical temporal summation, can help predict which women will have severe pain after a cesarean delivery. Researchers will also examine other factors like anxiety and pain catastrophizing. The goal is to better …

This trial evaluates a new device called PAMS that attaches to an ultrasound probe to mark the exact spot for epidural needle insertion and measure the correct angle. The study involves healthy volunteers acting as patients and anesthesia doctors as operators, who will practice o…

This study is testing whether an automated system that identifies spinal landmarks using ultrasound can help doctors insert spinal anesthesia needles more accurately and safely. The system's accuracy will be compared to that of experienced investigators in 100 adults undergoing s…

This study is looking at why some people develop persistent pain after breast cancer surgery while others do not. Researchers will follow 220 adults undergoing breast cancer surgery, using questionnaires and a pain sensitivity test to identify risk factors. The goal is to find re…

This study evaluates Aingeal, a contactless monitoring system that tracks heart rate and breathing, in adult women recovering from gynecological surgery at a Singapore hospital. The goal is to see how accurately the device's alarms match standard nursing checks. If it works well,…

This study uses functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine brain activity in women with chronic pelvic pain and endometriosis. Researchers will also conduct psychological tests to assess anxiety, depression, and pain catastrophizing. The goal is to understand how chr…

This study follows over 1,000 women in Singapore from before pregnancy through their child's early years. Researchers are looking at how nutrition, lifestyle, and emotional health before and during early pregnancy may influence the child's body composition, brain development, and…
