This study compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: an ultrasound-guided injection around the median nerve and a small-incision surgery to release the nerve. Researchers will enroll 60 people with mild to severe carpal tunnel and measure their pain and symptoms at 4 an…

This study compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: rest splints and high-intensity laser therapy, both added to standard physical therapy. Researchers will measure pain, hand function, nerve health, and grip strength in 78 adults aged 18-75. The goal is to find which …

This study tests whether a non-invasive treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can reduce nerve pain in people with spinal cord injury. About 63 adults with spinal cord injury and chronic neuropathic pain will receive either real rTMS or a sham (fake…

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can reduce nerve pain in people with spinal cord injury. Researchers will apply high-frequency rTMS to a brain area involved in pain processing and measu…

This study looks at three different hand therapies—mirror therapy, brain stimulation, and robotic hand training—added to standard rehab for stroke patients. The goal is to see which one works best for improving arm movement, reducing pain, and boosting quality of life. About 120 …

This study tests whether adding a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to standard rehabilitation can improve heart rate variability (a sign of healthy heart control) in 44 stroke survivors. Participants will receive …

This study looks at how blood flow restriction exercise—using a cuff to partially block blood flow to a leg—affects muscle growth and blood markers in 30 healthy adults aged 18 to 40. Researchers will compare people new to strength training with experienced athletes over a 6-week…

This study is testing a short, 5-question survey called PRAFAB to see if it accurately measures the severity and impact of urinary incontinence in women. Researchers will enroll 63 women diagnosed with urinary incontinence to check if the Turkish version of the survey is valid an…

This study looks at how exercise affects genes linked to brain healing in people who recently had a stroke and have weakness on one side. Researchers will take blood samples before and after a routine exercise program to measure changes in gene activity and brain-related proteins…

This study looks at how carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) affects sleep quality. Researchers will compare 120 people with CTS to healthy volunteers using ultrasound and sleep questionnaires. The goal is to understand the link between nerve compression and poor sleep, without offering …
