This study looked back at a surgical technique to rebuild jaw bone for people needing dental implants. Researchers used 3D imaging to design and print custom titanium mesh scaffolds that fit a patient's specific bone defect. They measured how well these custom scaffolds helped gr…

This study looked at whether dental treatment for cavities improves how well children can chew their food. Researchers tested 100 children aged 6 to 9 using a special two-colored chewing gum to measure chewing ability before and three months after their dental work. The goal was …

This study compared three different jaw correction treatments for children aged 9-12 with underbite (Class III malocclusion). Researchers tested which methods worked best for moving the upper jaw forward or the lower jaw backward to improve facial appearance and bite. The results…

This study compared three methods for treating cavities in children's baby molars over 18 months. It involved 60 healthy children, each receiving three different treatments on separate teeth: a gentle Hall crown, a silver fluoride paint, and a traditional drill-and-fill. Research…

This study compared two ways to give anesthesia to children having hernia repair surgery. Researchers tested whether anesthesia given through an IV drip or through inhaled gas led to more stable vital signs during surgery and a smoother, faster recovery afterward. The goal was to…

This study tested whether a gentle, slow-stroke back massage could help reduce pain and fatigue in women diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Forty-eight adult women participated, with half receiving the massage treatment three times a week for ten minutes each session. The goal was to s…

This study tested whether using virtual reality (VR) glasses could help patients with severe COPD (chronic lung disease) who are in the intensive care unit (ICU). Fifty patients were split into two groups: one group used VR for 30 minutes each night for a week, while the other re…

This study tested whether showing children a cartoon video through virtual reality (VR) goggles before surgery could reduce their anxiety and fear, as well as their mothers' worry. Sixty children aged 7-13 and their mothers participated. Researchers compared the anxiety levels of…

This study tested whether a low dose of a medication called tranexamic acid could reduce bleeding during middle ear surgery. The goal was to improve the surgeon's view of the surgical area, potentially shorten operation time, and increase surgeon satisfaction. The trial involved …

This study tested whether adding propolis, a natural substance from bees, to standard mouth care could prevent painful mouth sores (oral mucositis) in patients with COPD who were being treated in intensive care. Sixty COPD patients were divided into two groups: one received the p…

This study compared two types of nerve block injections given during robotic prostate surgery to see which one better controls pain afterward. Researchers followed 108 men to measure their pain levels, need for extra pain medication, and how quickly they could get up and walk. Th…

This study compared two types of nerve blocks to see which one better controls pain after a planned cesarean section (C-section). Researchers enrolled 90 women having planned C-sections and randomly assigned them to receive one of the nerve blocks or no extra block. They measured…

This study compared a new, less invasive jaw surgery technique to the standard method. It involved 47 adults undergoing corrective jaw surgery. Researchers measured surgery time, blood loss, and post-surgery pain, swelling, and recovery to see if the new method improved patient c…

This study aimed to find out which of three different root canal filling materials causes the least pain for patients in the week after a single-visit root canal. It involved 54 adults with a specific type of severe tooth pulp inflammation. Patients tracked their pain levels for …

This study tested if a specific nerve block could help control pain after robotic surgery to remove part of a kidney. Researchers compared pain levels and painkiller use in 46 patients who either received the numbing injection or did not. The goal was to see if this common anesth…

This study tested whether adding mindful eating training to a standard weight-loss diet helps people with obesity better control their food cravings and lose weight. Researchers compared 82 adults on a diet alone to those who also received mindful eating lessons. They measured ch…

This study tested whether carefully managing a patient's fluids and blood pressure during heart bypass surgery could help prevent post-operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), a common condition involving confusion and memory problems. Researchers monitored 60 patients using speci…

This study tested whether two common numbing sprays, lidocaine and benzocaine, could reduce pain and improve satisfaction when patients receive their dialysis needle. It involved 60 adults on regular hemodialysis who were randomly assigned to receive one of the sprays or a placeb…

This study tested whether counseling delivered through a smartphone app could be as helpful as traditional in-person counseling for people with chronic tinnitus (ringing in the ears). Forty-two adults with long-term tinnitus received the same counseling program, either via a 6-we…

This study tested whether a supervised exercise program helps patients undergoing a stem cell transplant for blood cancer. Fifteen participants were assigned to either follow an 8-week exercise plan or receive standard care. Researchers measured changes in strength, flexibility, …

This study looked at whether the standard bowel cleansing done before colon surgery might be linked to memory and thinking problems after the operation. Researchers followed 84 patients having elective colorectal surgery. They measured specific chemicals in the blood and gave mem…

This study aimed to find a better way to calculate the dose of spinal anesthesia for planned C-sections. Researchers tested if using a measurement of the patient's spine length was more effective than the standard method based on height and weight. The goal was to see if the new …

This study aimed to understand if there is a connection between how nurses feel about artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare and their natural tendency to think critically. Researchers surveyed 294 working nurses at a large hospital to measure their attitudes toward AI and th…
