This study looks at two ways to treat deep cavities in the second baby molars of children aged 5 to 7. One group gets a standard material (MTA) and a stainless steel crown; the other gets a newer bioceramic putty and a 3D-printed resin crown. The goal is to see which combination …

This study tests whether adding an oxygen-releasing gel and light therapy to standard deep cleaning can better control advanced gum disease (stage III periodontitis). 42 adults with deep gum pockets will be split into three groups: standard cleaning alone, cleaning plus the gel, …

This study tests whether gels made from coenzyme Q10 and curcumin can shrink or stabilize oral leukoplakia, a pre-cancerous mouth condition. About 34 adults with mild lesions will apply the gels and be monitored for changes in lesion size and saliva markers. The goal is to see if…

This study looks at three ways to give premature babies (born at 32 weeks or earlier) more blood from the placenta right after birth. The goal is to see which method—delayed cord clamping or two types of cord milking—best improves the baby's blood counts and reduces health proble…

This study tests if adding erythropoietin to a special blood-based material (albumin platelet-rich fibrin) helps improve bone growth and reduce pain during sinus lift surgery for dental implants. Twenty adults with at least 5 mm of bone in the upper jaw will be randomly assigned …

This study tests different methods of temporarily blocking blood flow to the uterus during laparoscopic fibroid removal. The goal is to see which technique reduces bleeding best. Sixty women with uterine fibroids who need surgery will take part. The results could help make this c…

This study tests if rupatadine, an allergy medicine, can help control inflammation and symptoms in people with mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis. About 60 adults will take the drug and be monitored for safety and effectiveness. The goal is to manage the disease, not cure it.

This study tests custom-made 3D-printed metal plates to rebuild the jaw after part of it is removed due to disease or injury. The plates are designed from each patient's own CT scans to fit perfectly, avoiding the need for bending during surgery. Researchers will follow 14 patien…

This study tests whether giving lactase enzyme supplements to very premature babies (born at 32 weeks or earlier) can prevent feeding intolerance, a common problem in the NICU. About 120 infants will receive either the supplement or a placebo alongside their first feeds. The goal…

This study tests whether cleaning hands with chlorhexidine or alcohol rubbing is better at preventing infections in premature babies (under 37 weeks) in the NICU. About 100 newborns will take part, and researchers will check their blood for infections at 7, 14, and 28 days after …

This study tests two ways to prevent dry mouth caused by radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. One method uses a tiny scope to clear saliva ducts, and the other uses low-level laser light to boost saliva gland function. About 42 patients will be randomly assigned to one of …

This study tests whether lidocaine or dexmedetomidine works better for pain relief after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (weight loss surgery). Forty adults aged 20-50 with a BMI of 35-50 will receive one of the two drugs during surgery. Researchers will measure pain levels, how …

This study compares two oral medications—diosmin-hesperidin (a plant-based supplement) and loratadine (an allergy pill)—to see which better prevents severe bone pain caused by G-CSF, a drug that boosts white blood cells in blood cancer patients. About 88 adults receiving G-CSF fo…

This study compares two ways of doing root canals: a newer manual-less technique and the standard rotary method. The goal is to see which causes less pain afterward and how it affects natural pain-related chemicals. About 34 adults with infected back teeth will take part.

This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) program can help people on dialysis feel less anxious and better cope with stress. Sixty adults will use personalized relaxation techniques guided by AI during their dialysis sessions. Researchers will measure changes in an…

This study tests whether a nasal spray of dexmedetomidine can reduce agitation in children aged 3-6 after strabismus (eye muscle) surgery. 120 children will receive either a 2 mcg/kg or 3 mcg/kg dose. The goal is to find the best dose to help children wake up calmly and comfortab…

This study looks at whether a gentle exercise program done during hemodialysis sessions can help patients sleep better and feel less depressed or anxious. Researchers will track sleep quality, depression, and anxiety levels in 100 adults on dialysis. The goal is to find a safe, d…

This study compares two treatments for jaw muscle pain (TMD): a mouth splint and a newer ear stent. About 32 adults with moderate to severe pain will be randomly assigned to one treatment. The goal is to see which reduces pain and improves jaw opening better.

This early-phase study tests whether adding daily probiotics to standard methotrexate treatment can improve psoriasis symptoms and gut health in newly diagnosed adults. 24 participants will take either probiotics plus methotrexate or methotrexate alone for 4 months. Researchers w…

This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) can help people recover better and leave the hospital sooner after major abdominal surgery. Sixty adults will either use VR for guided relaxation and mindfulness before and after surgery, or receive standard care. The goal is to…

This study tests a special injection (erector spinae plane block) to relieve pain from post-herpetic neuralgia, a painful condition after shingles. 60 adults who haven't found relief from standard treatments will receive either the injection or usual care. The goal is to see if t…

This study tests whether AI-powered software can help dental students improve their tooth preparation skills. 36 third-year dental students will be split into three groups: one gets traditional teacher feedback, the other two use different AI programs to self-assess their work. T…
