This study tested whether adding kinesiotaping (a special elastic tape) to a home exercise program can reduce hand tremors and improve hand function in people with Parkinson's disease. 45 adults with Parkinson's and hand tremor were randomly assigned to receive either real kinesi…

This study looked at two methods of giving diuretics (water pills) to adults with sudden heart failure in the emergency room: as a single injection or as a slow drip. Fifty patients took part, and researchers measured how much urine they produced in the first few hours. The goal …

This study tested whether a nasal mask is better than a standard nasal cannula for delivering oxygen during gastrointestinal endoscopy (like colonoscopy) under propofol sedation. 600 adults were randomly assigned to one of the two oxygen methods. The main goal was to see which me…

This study looked at whether stretching the bottom of the foot (plantar fascia) alone or combined with a special massage tool (Graston technique) can improve ankle motion, flexibility, and balance. It involved 40 healthy, active adults aged 18-35. The goal was to see which method…

This study looked at whether relaxation exercises and virtual reality (VR) could help people feel better after having a wisdom tooth removed. 36 adults who had surgery tried these non-drug methods to see if they could reduce pain, jaw stiffness, anxiety, and sleep problems. The g…

This study looked at whether a condition called central sensitization—where the brain and spinal cord become extra sensitive to pain—affects how well a steroid injection works for shoulder pain. Researchers gave 44 patients with rotator cuff injuries a shoulder injection and moni…

This study looked at whether aromatase inhibitors, a common hormone therapy for breast cancer, affect balance and increase fall risk in postmenopausal women. Researchers compared 76 women who had taken the drug for at least a year with those who had never taken it. They used spec…

This study looked at 27 university students to see if a common postural problem called upper crossed syndrome (forward head and rounded shoulders) is linked to jaw joint disorders. Participants had their posture measured and jaw function assessed in a single session. No treatment…

This study looked at whether the severity of central sensitization (a condition where the nervous system is overly sensitive to pain) affects how well steroid injections work for people with rotator cuff shoulder pain. Researchers measured pain sensitivity before treatment in 44 …

This study looked at 46 people with carpal tunnel syndrome to see if ultrasound measurements of the median nerve match their symptoms. Researchers measured nerve size and appearance at different points in the wrist and compared them to pain levels and nerve tests. The goal is to …

This study tested if giving extra training to nurses helps prevent complications in patients receiving a feeding tube (PEG). Sixty adults who needed a feeding tube took part. Half received standard care, while the other half had nurses with special education. Researchers tracked …

This completed study looked at 60 people with carpal tunnel syndrome to see if pain sensitivity is linked to ultrasound and nerve test results. Researchers measured pressure pain thresholds and used questionnaires to assess central sensitization. The goal was to find better ways …

This study looked at 110 breast cancer patients to see if arm swelling (lymphedema) is linked to a specific type of muscle pain called myofascial pain syndrome. Researchers measured tender spots in the muscles and compared pain levels between affected and unaffected arms. The goa…
