This study looks at two common ways to manage pain after umbilical hernia surgery: an ultrasound-guided TAP block and a single-dose epidural. Researchers will measure pain levels in 30 adults at different times after surgery using a simple 0-10 pain scale. The goal is to see whic…

This study tests whether a 15-20 minute session in a specially designed sensory modulation room before kidney transplant surgery can reduce pain, anxiety, and sleep problems afterward. The room has dim lights, nature videos, calming music, and tactile objects like stress balls. R…

This study compares two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks—TAP block and transversalis fascia plane block—for controlling pain after laparoscopic surgery in children aged 6 months to 16 years. The goal is to see which block provides better pain relief, lasts longer, and redu…

This study tests whether adding two nerve blocks (iPACK and adductor canal block) to standard pain control helps people recover better after arthroscopic knee surgery. About 64 adults aged 18-50 will be enrolled. The main goal is to see if these blocks improve overall recovery qu…

This study tests whether having a researcher hold the patient's hand or giving them a stress ball to squeeze can reduce pain and anxiety during cataract surgery. 108 adults having their first cataract surgery will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: hand holding, stress …

This study watches 60 women having laparoscopic hysterectomy to see if the head-down (Trendelenburg) position changes how brain monitors measure anesthesia depth. Researchers will record brain waves and oxygen levels before and after tilting. No extra treatments are given—just ca…

This observational study looks at how lowering body temperature during heart-lung bypass surgery affects two common brain monitors (BIS and PSI). Researchers will track 60 adults undergoing planned coronary bypass surgery. The goal is to see if the monitors' readings change diffe…

This study watches 126 adults having gallbladder surgery to see if ups and downs in anesthesia depth (measured by BIS) relate to how well they recover. Patients fill out a recovery questionnaire before and after surgery. No extra treatments are given—just standard care. The goal …

This study looks at whether combining intravenous and inhaled anesthesia helps women recover better after gynecologic surgery compared to inhaled anesthesia alone. One hundred women aged 18-65 will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods. Their recovery will be measured us…

This study watches 60 women aged 18-40 having nose surgery to see if their menstrual cycle phase affects nausea and vomiting afterward. Researchers also check if a drug called sugammadex, used during anesthesia, changes the risk. No new treatments are tested—just observation of r…

This study is testing whether a simple ultrasound can accurately measure muscle loss in people with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or colitis). Currently, doctors use CT scans to check for muscle wasting, but CT involves radiation and is not always available. Researchers wil…

This study tests whether a serious game can improve nursing students' knowledge and confidence in managing postpartum hemorrhage (severe bleeding after childbirth). Seventy third-year nursing students will be split into two groups: one gets traditional training plus the game, the…

This study tests whether a web-based education program can help first-time fathers better support breastfeeding. Sixty-eight fathers will take online lessons and motivational interviews, and researchers will measure changes in their knowledge and attitudes. The goal is to see if …
