This study looked at two ways to treat deep cavities in children's back baby teeth: the Hall technique and a modified version. 268 kids aged 3 to 12 took part. The goal was to see which method works better and how the amount of tooth damage affects success. Both techniques aim to…

This study tested a nurse-led education program for pregnant women with gestational diabetes. 71 women took part, with some receiving the program and others standard care. The goal was to see if the program improved healthy behaviors, self-confidence, and health beliefs, and redu…

This study tested two small devices—Coolsense (cold only) and Buzzy (cold plus vibration)—to see if they reduce pain and anxiety in children aged 6–12 with type 1 diabetes during insulin injections. 90 children were split into three groups: one used Coolsense, one used Buzzy, and…
