This study tests a less invasive way to treat receding gums using a collagen membrane instead of a traditional tissue graft. Eighteen healthy adults with localized gum recession will receive one of the two treatments. Researchers will measure changes in gum depth, width, thicknes…

This study looks at whether collecting a second sperm sample shortly after the first can provide better quality sperm for ICSI (a type of IVF). The goal is to see if this improves fertilization rates, embryo quality, and pregnancy chances. The trial involves 108 couples where the…

This study looks at whether giving extra sodium to premature babies (born before 34 weeks and weighing less than 2500 grams) starting at least a week after birth can improve their growth over the next six weeks. Researchers will track weight and check sodium levels in the blood. …

This study looks at how common irregular periods are in teen girls with type 1 diabetes and tests whether a GLP-1 drug can help. About 50 girls aged 12-18 with poor blood sugar control will take the drug for 3 months. The goal is to see if their periods become more regular.

This study looks at three different medicines used to treat infected baby molars in children aged 4 to 8. The goal is to see which one works best to stop pain, swelling, and infection, and to check how well they kill bacteria. The researchers will compare a new nano-based medicin…

This study looks at whether a drug called sugammadex can help adults feel less confused and agitated when waking up from nasal surgery. About 486 people having procedures like septoplasty or sinus surgery will be watched. The goal is to see if this drug leads to a calmer recovery…

This study looked at two types of nerve blocks (RISS and QL) to see which one provides better pain relief after open kidney surgery. Fifty adults aged 40-70 who were having a kidney removed took part. The main goal was to see how long it took before they needed extra pain medicin…

This study tests if a numbing injection near the neck (superficial cervical plexus block) can reduce pain after ear surgery. 46 adults aged 20-40 having tympanomastoid surgery will either get the block or standard pain medicine. Researchers will measure pain scores and how much e…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks (ESPB and QLB) for pain relief after lumbar spine surgery. Forty adults aged 18-65 will receive one of the two blocks, and researchers will measure pain levels using a standard pain scale. The goal is to find which block provides bett…

This study tests whether a smartphone-based AI tool can help doctors give a numbing shot (nerve block) more accurately during cleft lip repair in babies. About 120 infants aged 5-18 months will take part. The goal is to see if this low-cost method reduces pain and the need for ex…
