This study tested whether the antioxidant N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) helps people with severe COVID-19 lung failure in the ICU. 59 adults were randomly assigned to receive NAC or a placebo. Researchers measured changes in inflammation and blood clotting markers, as well as survival a…

This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) could improve thinking and walking while doing two things at once in people with Parkinson's disease. 41 participants received either real or fake rTMS …

This study tested whether a special laser treatment helps gums heal faster and with less pain after a tooth is pulled, before a permanent denture is placed. Forty-five adults took part, and the researchers measured healing, wound size, and pain levels. The goal was to see if lase…

This study tested a new ultrasound-guided nerve block (SPSIPB) to control pain after video-assisted chest surgery. Sixty adults were randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block or a morphine injection under the skin. The main goal was to measure pain levels at rest and wh…

This study looked at whether guided mandala coloring can help cancer patients feel less nausea, vomiting, and fatigue during chemotherapy, and improve their overall mood. 85 adult cancer patients receiving chemo took part. Researchers compared those who colored mandalas with a co…

This study tested whether a simple visualized meditation technique could help people feel less anxious, experience less pain, and be more comfortable during their first colonoscopy. 72 adults took part. The approach involved guiding patients through calming mental images before a…

This study tested whether a numbing injection (nerve block) in the neck before thyroid surgery could lower pain and the need for strong painkillers. Forty adults having thyroid surgery were split into two groups: one got the nerve block plus general anesthesia, the other got only…

This study tested whether online video conversations with a counselor could increase the desire to quit smoking in people with lung cancer. 42 patients who smoked took part. The approach used motivational interviewing, a supportive talk method, to strengthen their intention to qu…

This study looked at whether the Buteyko breathing technique can reduce fatigue, improve exercise ability, and help control asthma in people with asthma. 90 adults with asthma were split into two groups: one learned the Buteyko method, and the other did not. Researchers measured …

This study looked at whether listening to music can help reduce pain and anxiety in people who have just had coronary artery bypass surgery. Sixty adults took part, and the researchers measured their pain and anxiety levels after listening to music. The goal was to see if music t…

This study looked at whether a special nerve block called PENG can help people who have partial hip replacement surgery feel less pain and need fewer painkillers. 48 adults aged 18 to 75 took part. Half got the nerve block before surgery, and half did not. The researchers measure…

This study looked at how caffeine from capsules, chewing gum, or mouth rinse affects exercise performance in 14 healthy male recreational athletes aged 18-25. Each participant tried all three forms in random order to measure their aerobic (endurance) and anaerobic (short burst) p…

This study looked at whether a short educational program (psychoeducation) could help people with substance use disorder who are on probation. 60 participants took part. The goal was to see if learning about addiction could lower their cravings and increase their psychological re…

This study tested whether using the 'teach-back' method—where patients repeat instructions in their own words—helps people who had leg surgery feel more prepared to go home. Sixty-four adults were split into two groups: one received standard discharge education, the other got tea…

This study looked at 113 COVID-19 patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) to see if a computer model could predict how long they would need a breathing machine and their chances of dying. Researchers used an artificial neural network, a type of artificial intelligence, to analy…

This study looked at whether a specific type of breathing training (diaphragm-focused inspiratory muscle training) could improve lung function, heart measures, attention, and motivation in healthy female athletes. 28 women aged 18-23 who had been active in sports for at least 5 y…
