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 having this surgery were split into two groups: one got the nerve block plus usual care, the other got usua…

This study tested whether a nerve block given before thyroid surgery can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers. Forty adults having thyroidectomy were split into two groups: one received the nerve block plus general anesthesia, the other only general anesthesia. Researc…

This completed study tested whether motivational interviewing, a supportive counseling style, delivered through online video calls could increase the intention to quit smoking in people with lung cancer. Forty-two participants who smoked were randomly assigned to receive the inte…

This study tested whether applying low-level laser therapy to the gums after a tooth extraction helps them heal better before placing a dental bridge. Forty-five adults received either a real laser, a different type of laser, or a sham (placebo) treatment daily for five days. Res…

This study tested whether the Buteyko breathing technique, a method of controlled breathing, can reduce fatigue and improve exercise capacity and asthma control in people with asthma. 90 adults with a recent asthma diagnosis were split into two groups: one learned the Buteyko tec…

This study tested a new nerve block called SPSIPB for pain after video-assisted lung surgery. Sixty adults were randomly assigned to get either the nerve block or a morphine injection. The goal was to see which method provided better pain relief and reduced the need for extra pai…

This study tested if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) could improve thinking and walking in people with Parkinson's disease. 41 participants received either real or fake rTMS sessions over two weeks. The results…
