This study compares standard ACL reconstruction surgery with a newer method that uses a special tape (TARS) to reinforce the repair. Researchers will enroll 80 adults aged 18-44 with a complete ACL tear. The goal is to see which approach provides better knee stability and functio…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks to manage pain after single-level lumbar disc surgery. About 70 adults aged 18-70 will receive either a Quadro-iliac plane block or a classical thoracolumbar interfascial plane block. The goal is to see which block reduces opioid pain…

This study tests whether giving a single dose of paracetamol or ibuprofen before nose surgery (septorhinoplasty) can reduce the need for stronger opioid painkillers during and after the operation. Researchers will enroll 54 adults and measure total opioid use, pain scores, and re…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks (classic vs. modified) to control pain after lumbar spine surgery. About 60 adults aged 18-70 having single-level back surgery will receive one of the two blocks. Researchers will measure how much opioid pain medicine patients need an…

This study looks at two simple breathing exercises—deep breathing and using a spirometer—to see which one helps people with broken ribs get more oxygen. About 104 adults with rib fractures from chest injuries will take part. The goal is to find the best way to prevent lung proble…

This study looks at 90 obese adults to see if a newer body measurement called the Body Roundness Index (BRI) is better than the standard Body Mass Index (BMI) at predicting how easy it is to place a breathing tube. Researchers will compare BRI and BMI to a score that rates airway…
