This study looks at whether kinesio taping, a special elastic tape applied to the elbow, can reduce pain from cubital tunnel syndrome when added to nerve-gliding exercises. About 36 adults with confirmed cubital tunnel syndrome will be split into three groups: exercise only, exer…

This study tests whether adding kinesiotaping (a special elastic tape) to exercise can improve posture, balance, pain, and quality of life in young adults aged 18-45 with a rounded upper back (thoracic hyperkyphosis). 48 participants will be split into three groups: exercise plus…

This study looks at whether the brain and nervous system (central sensitization) play a role in the pain of plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain. Researchers will measure pain sensitivity, ultrasound images of the foot, and psychological factors in 128 adults with the c…

This study looks at two types of airway devices (i-gel and classic LMA) used during general anesthesia in patients over 75. Researchers want to see if the position of the head affects how easily and safely the device can be placed. The goal is to find the best approach for elderl…

This study looks at how central sensitization—a heightened pain response common in fibromyalgia—might be linked to cognitive problems like memory and concentration issues. Researchers will assess 100 adults with fibromyalgia using questionnaires and cognitive tests. The goal is t…

This study looks at how ultrasound images of the median nerve in the wrist relate to a person's ability to feel touch in carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will measure nerve size and texture with ultrasound and compare them to sensory tests like two-point discrimination. The go…

This study looks at how central sensitization—a heightened pain response in the brain—relates to balance problems in people with fibromyalgia. Researchers will compare 75 fibromyalgia patients to healthy individuals using pain tests and a special balance device. The goal is to un…

This study uses ultrasound to measure the size and appearance of leg nerves in people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage (diabetic polyneuropathy). Researchers will then test how these nerve measurements relate to balance, walking, and daily life. The goal is to better un…

This study examines whether women with lipedema have a condition called central sensitization, where the nervous system becomes overly sensitive to pain. Researchers will measure pain thresholds and use ultrasound in 50 participants, comparing them to healthy volunteers. The goal…
