This study tests whether using a special brain wave monitor (Density Spectral Array) during anesthesia can lower the chance of agitation or confusion when children wake up after surgery. About 80 children aged 6 to 12 will take part. Half will have the monitor, half will not, and…

This study tests whether giving children a medicated mist (lidocaine or salt water) before tonsil surgery can prevent breathing problems after the operation. About 90 children aged 1.5 to 16 years will take part. The goal is to see if this simple pre-treatment reduces oxygen drop…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks used to manage pain after mastectomy (breast removal surgery). The goal is to see which block is easier for doctors to perform and which provides better comfort for patients. About 64 adults scheduled for mastectomy will take part. Th…

This study compares hypnobreastfeeding—a method using relaxation and guided imagery—to traditional breastfeeding education. Researchers will enroll 111 first-time mothers to see if the hypnosis-based approach improves breastfeeding confidence, adaptation, and feelings of milk sup…

This study looks at whether adding breath-based yoga to online breastfeeding education helps first-time mothers feel less anxious and more confident about breastfeeding. About 90 new mothers will be split into three groups: one gets online classes plus yoga, one gets only online …

This study looks at whether watching cartoons and getting foot reflexology can help children aged 4 to 6 feel less anxious, nauseous, and in pain after planned surgery. About 105 kids will be involved. The goal is to find simple, drug-free ways to improve recovery.

This study compares two minimally invasive procedures to relieve long-term knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. About 50 adults aged 45 to 85 with severe knee pain will receive either radiofrequency ablation (using heat) or a neurolytic alcohol injection to block pain signals. Res…

This study tests whether spending 15-20 minutes in a specially designed sensory modulation room before kidney transplant surgery can lower pain, anxiety, and improve sleep afterward. The room uses dim lights, nature videos, relaxing music, and tactile objects like stress balls. T…

This study looks at how lying face down (prone position) during back surgery affects oxygen levels and breathing. Researchers will monitor 50 adults aged 18-75 undergoing spine surgery. The goal is to understand how position and ventilator settings influence oxygen in the blood, …

This study tests whether an AI-powered coaching tool can help nursing students improve their communication and empathy skills when counseling patients about infertility. About 96 students will be split into two groups: one using the AI coach with practice scenarios and feedback, …

This study tests whether using ultrasound to guide epidural needle placement works better than the usual method of feeling for spine landmarks. It includes 60 adults having general surgery who have very hard-to-feel spines. The goal is to see if ultrasound improves first-attempt …

This study watches 60 women having laparoscopic hysterectomy to see if the head-down (Trendelenburg) position changes brain wave readings and oxygen levels during anesthesia. Researchers will record standard vital signs plus special brain sensors before and after tilting. No extr…

This study looks at whether using digital storytelling can improve how nursing students learn the nursing process (the steps nurses use to plan patient care). About 104 students will be split into two groups: one learns with digital stories, the other with standard methods. Resea…

This study will test a new virtual reality (VR) simulation that gives students a sense of touch (haptic feedback) to help them learn nursing skills. About 100 nursing students will be split into two groups: one using the VR tool and one using standard training. Researchers will c…
