This study tested whether adding the drug N-acetylcysteine (NAC) to standard care could help control severe lung inflammation in COVID-19 patients in the ICU. Researchers gave NAC or a placebo to 59 critically ill patients and tracked their blood markers and recovery. The goal wa…

This study tested whether watching a guided meditation video could help patients feel less anxious and experience less pain during a colonoscopy. Researchers enrolled 72 adults who were having the procedure for the first time. They compared the experiences of patients who watched…

This study tested a new type of nerve block to see if it could better control pain after minimally invasive chest surgery. Researchers compared the new ultrasound-guided nerve block to standard morphine injections in 60 patients. The goal was to see if the block reduced pain scor…

This study tested whether a special low-level laser could help gums heal faster and with less pain after a tooth is pulled, before placing a dental bridge. Researchers compared the laser treatment to a placebo (fake laser) in 45 healthy adults needing this common dental procedure…

This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique could help people with Parkinson's disease who struggle with doing two things at once, like walking while talking. Forty-one participants received either real or fake magnetic stimulation to a specific brain are…

This study tested whether the Buteyko breathing technique could help people with asthma feel less tired, exercise more easily, and better control their asthma symptoms. It involved 90 adults recently diagnosed with asthma, who were split into two groups—one practicing the breathi…

This study tested whether motivational interviewing, delivered through online video calls, could increase the desire to quit smoking in people diagnosed with lung cancer. It involved 42 adult patients who were current smokers. Researchers measured changes in their intention to qu…

This study tested whether listening to music could help patients feel better after major heart surgery. Researchers worked with 60 adults who had coronary artery bypass grafting to see if music therapy could reduce their post-surgery pain and anxiety. The goal was to provide a si…

This study tested whether caffeine works better for exercise when taken as a pill, chewing gum, or mouth rinse. Fourteen healthy male athletes tried all three methods to see which one most improved their endurance and short-burst power. Researchers measured how each form affected…

This study tested if a specific warm-up routine could help people lift more weight during a workout. Nine trained men performed two different warm-ups before doing squats to failure. Researchers measured if the heavy warm-up led to more total weight lifted or more repetitions com…

This study aimed to find out which of two common breathing machine settings is better for supporting a patient's heart and blood flow during laparoscopic kidney removal surgery. Researchers compared a standard setting to a more protective lung setting in 30 patients. They careful…

This study tested whether a computer program (an artificial neural network) could predict two key outcomes for COVID-19 patients in intensive care: how long they would need a breathing machine and whether they would survive. Researchers looked back at the medical records of 113 p…
