This study compares two surgical methods for repairing a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in adults aged 18 to 44. One group gets standard ACL reconstruction using a hamstring tendon graft, while the other gets the same surgery plus a special tape (TARS) to strengthen the re…

This study tests two different nerve block techniques to manage pain after lumbar spine surgery. Sixty adults undergoing single-level back surgery will receive either a standard or a modified block. The goal is to see which method reduces the need for opioid painkillers and impro…

This study tests two different nerve-block techniques to manage pain after single-level lumbar disc surgery. About 70 adults aged 18–70 will receive one of the two blocks before surgery, and researchers will measure how much opioid pain medicine they need afterward. The goal is t…

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 levels, and re…

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 whether the amount of hemoglobin (a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen) in a patient's blood before emergency surgery affects their risk of developing acute kidney injury afterward. Researchers will follow 420 adults undergoing non-cardiac emergenc…

This study looks at whether a newer measure of body shape (Body Roundness Index, or BRI) is better than the standard Body Mass Index (BMI) at predicting difficult airway placement in obese patients. Researchers will enroll 90 obese adults undergoing general anesthesia and compare…

This study looks at whether a person's body measurements and tendon size can help predict the size of a graft used in ACL knee surgery. Researchers will collect data from 90 patients to build a model that helps surgeons plan better before the operation. The goal is to improve sur…

This study looks at two different numbing techniques used during gallbladder removal surgery. Researchers will map exactly which areas of skin become numb with each method. The goal is to understand how these blocks work so doctors can better manage pain after surgery. About 40 a…
