This study compares two types of supervised exercise—step-aerobics and core exercise—to see which better lowers non-HDL cholesterol in sedentary women aged 25-45 with overweight or obesity. Participants follow a 24-week program with 60-minute sessions. The goal is to find which e…

This study compared two types of exercise—step-aerobics and core exercises—to see which better lowers non-HDL cholesterol in sedentary women aged 25-45 who are overweight or have class I obesity. Forty-five women participated in a 16-week supervised program. The goal was to find …

This study looked at whether adding tape to neck and shoulder exercises helps women with forward head posture. 42 women did either exercises alone or exercises plus taping for 6 weeks. Researchers measured neck strength, endurance, and daily function before and after the program.

This study tested whether emotion-focused therapy (EFT) can improve mood awareness and reduce emotional reactivity in people with bipolar disorder. Fifty patients in remission took part, with half receiving six sessions of EFT plus standard care. The goal was to see if this thera…

This study tested a comprehensive training program for 50 adults who had knee replacement surgery. The program included pain management, relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, massage, and fall prevention training. Participants received face-to-face sessions and video follow…

This study tested whether adding supervised motor control exercises to standard physical therapy helps people who had lumbar decompression surgery. Fifty-one volunteers were split into two groups: one got usual care (stretching, strengthening, and education), and the other got th…

This study tested whether a specific exercise program called proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) helps people recover better after total knee replacement surgery compared to usual care. Fifty patients aged 60 and older who were 6 weeks post-surgery took part. The rese…

This study tested whether adding a multi-component home training program to standard care helps children with cerebral palsy recover better after lower leg tendon release surgery. Forty children aged 4-18 who could walk participated. The study measured movement, pain, fear of mov…

This study tested whether adding proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) exercises to standard care helps people who have had a total hip replacement. Sixty patients, all at least 60 years old and six weeks post-surgery, took part. The goal was to see if the extra exercis…

This study looked at whether adding relaxation exercises and classical foot massage to standard physical therapy helps people recover after hip fracture surgery. Forty patients aged 50 and older took part. Researchers measured pain, mobility, quality of life, anxiety, depression,…

This study looked at whether a single injection of numbing medicine between the ribs (rhomboid intercostal block) can lower the chance of chronic pain after mastectomy. 254 women having breast cancer surgery were split into two groups: one got the block, the other did not. Resear…

This study looked at 90 adult smokers with breathing issues to see if a simple questionnaire called the CAT score could detect early airway problems before COPD develops. Researchers compared CAT scores, exercise ability, and body mass index. The goal was to find a cheap, easy wa…

This completed study looked at 170 adults who needed emergency hemodialysis for acute kidney injury. Researchers measured three blood markers (Activin A, Nostrin, and Angiopoetin-2) before dialysis to see if they could predict whether the kidneys would recover or if the patient w…

This completed study examined blood vessel function in 101 elderly patients (65 and older) with chronic kidney disease who were not on dialysis. Researchers used ultrasound and other non-invasive tests to measure blood vessel health and looked for links to certain blood markers. …

This study looked at 1,000 people who had a severe type of heart attack (STEMI). Researchers checked two simple nutrition scores (CONUT and PNI) based on routine blood tests taken when patients arrived at the hospital. The goal was to see if these scores could predict who was mor…

This completed study involved 84 children with cerebral palsy to see if measuring mid-upper arm circumference can help assess their nutritional status. Standard height and weight measurements are often hard to get in these children due to motor and feeding difficulties. The resea…

This study looked at 217 adults who had abdominal surgery to see how different incision and stitching methods affect the chance of developing an incisional hernia (a bulge at the surgery site). Researchers compared a newer 'small-bite' stitching technique with the conventional me…
