This study tests a nerve block called PENG (pericapsular nerve group block) to see if it can reduce pain and the need for painkillers after shoulder surgery. Sixty adults having arthroscopic shoulder surgery will receive the block with one of two different volumes of anesthetic. …

This study will test whether Emotional Freedom Technique (a type of tapping) and music therapy can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression in women with a high-risk pregnancy due to early rupture of membranes. About 177 women will be randomly assigned to receive these therapies or…

This study compares three non-drug approaches—music therapy, breathing exercises, and virtual reality—against standard care for women recovering from cesarean section. Researchers will measure pain, gastrointestinal symptoms, and overall recovery quality in 192 participants. The …

This study tests whether kinesiotape, a stretchy tape applied to the skin, can immediately improve posture, shoulder movement, and body awareness in 100 university students with rounded shoulders. Participants will be randomly assigned to real tape or a sham (fake) tape, and effe…

This study looks at whether Therapeutic Touch, a gentle, non-invasive therapy, can help premature babies in the NICU feel more comfortable and have more stable heart rates, breathing, and oxygen levels. About 62 preterm infants will either receive this touch therapy or standard c…

This study will test whether an artificial intelligence-based orientation program can help nursing students adapt more easily to pediatric clinical practice. 90 third-year nursing students will be split into two groups: one group uses the AI program, and the other receives standa…

This study looks at whether video-based training can improve pediatric nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and skills about IV infiltration and extravasation. Fifty-six nurses will be randomly assigned to either watch educational videos or receive no training. Researchers will measure …

This study will check if a virtual reality version of a common mobility test (the Timed Up and Go test) works well for people with chronic low back pain. About 65 adults aged 18 to 55 will do both the standard test and a VR version, then repeat the VR test a week later. The goal …

This study looks at whether virtual reality (VR) versions of two common mobility tests—the five times sit-to-stand test and the timed up and go test—are valid and reliable for women with fibromyalgia. Researchers will enroll 51 women aged 30-60 and compare VR-based results to sta…

This study looks at whether simple breathing tests can help detect disability levels in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers will measure respiratory muscle strength and endurance in 40 adults with MS and compare the results to their disability scores. The goal is to …

This study will test whether mixed reality (using Meta Quest 3 goggles) can reliably measure walking, standing, and balance in 75 people with multiple sclerosis. Participants will perform standard mobility tests both conventionally and in a mixed reality environment. The goal is …

This study will check if a virtual reality (VR) version of the Five-Repetition Sit-to-Stand test is as valid and reliable as the traditional version. Sixty healthy young adults will perform both tests, and the VR version will be repeated a week later to see if results are consist…

This study will test whether virtual reality versions of three common mobility tests (walking, standing up, and timed up-and-go) are as accurate and reliable as the traditional versions. Seventy adults aged 65 and older will perform both the VR and conventional tests. The goal is…

This study will check if a virtual reality (VR) version of the Timed Up and Go test is as good as the traditional version for measuring how well people can move around. Sixty healthy young adults aged 18-30 will do both the standard test and a VR version using a Meta Quest 3 head…

This study looks at how frailty—a state of weakness common in older adults—affects the risk of dangerously low blood pressure after anesthesia. Researchers will assess frailty in 80 elderly patients before surgery and track their blood pressure during anesthesia. The goal is to b…
