This study compared two different guidance methods for a nerve block used during sinus surgery. The goal was to see which method better reduces bleeding during the operation and pain afterward. Researchers tested ultrasound guidance against a computer navigation system called Bra…

This completed study aimed to understand how diabetic nerve damage (polyneuropathy) affects carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers examined 84 participants using special ultrasound techniques to measure nerve stiffness and blood flow, along with hand function tests. The goal was to …

This study aimed to create a detailed picture of how nerves in the neck and shoulder look on an ultrasound scan. Researchers scanned 200 patients who were scheduled for elective surgery to understand the normal, healthy anatomy of these nerves. The goal was to gather basic knowle…
