This study tests whether adding low-dose isotretinoin or excimer light therapy to standard itraconazole works better for nail fungus. 36 adults with onychomycosis will be split into three groups: itraconazole alone, itraconazole plus isotretinoin, or itraconazole plus excimer lig…

This study tests whether microneedling combined with either lactic acid, vitamin D3, or a steroid (triamcinolone) can help regrow hair in people with patchy alopecia areata. About 88 adults with small bald patches will receive one of the three combos. The goal is to see which mix…

This study tests a flexible suction tube used during a scope procedure to remove kidney stones from the lower part of the kidney. The goal is to see if it clears more stones than standard methods. About 33 adults with lower calyx stones will take part.

This study looks at whether treating a common stomach infection called H. pylori can improve symptoms and lung function in people with COPD. Researchers will give H. pylori treatment to 54 adults with both COPD and H. pylori infection, then measure changes in their breathing test…

This study compares two methods of delivering Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to treat atrophic acne scars: injections and dissolvable threads. About 52 adults with moderate to severe acne scars will receive one treatment on one side of the face and the other on the opposite side. Rese…

This study compares two different nerve blocks (retrosuperior costotransverse ligament block and erector spinae block) to see which one better controls pain and reduces the need for strong painkillers after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. About 80 adults aged 21-64 having elect…

This study compares two minimally invasive procedures—cooled radiofrequency and thermal radiofrequency—to relieve chronic lower back pain caused by worn facet joints. Researchers will enroll 100 adults aged 30 to 70 who have had pain for at least 3 months and haven't gotten relie…

This study tests whether adding a shoulder nerve block to a standard steroid injection works better than the steroid injection alone for people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). About 50 adults aged 41-65 with ongoing shoulder pain and stiffness will take part. The goal…

This study tests three different injections—exosomes, platelet-rich plasma, and steroids—to see which best eases the long-term nerve pain that can follow shingles. About 45 adults with pain lasting at least 90 days will receive four treatments every two weeks. Researchers will me…

This study tests whether injecting exosomes—tiny particles from cells that help repair skin—can improve the look and feel of atrophic (depressed) scars, like those from acne. Twelve adults with multiple facial scars will receive either exosome or saltwater injections, and neither…

This study compares three different medicines (dexmedetomidine, fentanyl, and magnesium sulphate) given alongside standard anesthesia during brain surgery. The goal is to see which one reduces the total amount of main anesthetic needed and helps patients wake up faster for a brai…

This study compares two ways to manage pain during ear drum repair surgery: general anesthesia (being fully asleep) versus a targeted nerve block that keeps you awake. About 128 adults aged 21-65 will take part. The goal is to see if the nerve block leads to faster discharge from…

This study compares two types of breathing tubes (Laryseal Clear and Ambu Aura 40) used in preschool children during surgery. Researchers will measure how well each tube seals the airway and how easy it is to insert. The goal is to find which device works better for young childre…
