This study is testing a new surgical technique to repair problematic scars (called a 'niche') left from a previous cesarean section. The procedure combines two types of minimally invasive surgery to try to resolve symptoms like abnormal bleeding and strengthen the uterine wall. R…

This study tests two common dental treatments to see which better reduces the bacteria that cause cavities in children. Researchers will apply silver diamine fluoride on one side of each child's mouth and fluoride varnish on the other side, then track bacteria levels for 3 months…

This study is testing if adding the antibiotic azithromycin to standard hospital treatment helps adults with a sudden, severe flare-up of a lung-scarring disease called IPF. Researchers want to see if the add-on drug shortens hospital stays and improves breathing. The trial will …

This study is testing a new surgical procedure to help people with severe bowel incontinence who haven't been helped by medications. Doctors will use a piece of the patient's own buttock muscle to create a new sphincter to improve control. The goal is to see if this surgery can s…

This study aims to find out which of two surgical scopes is better for removing stones from the upper part of the ureter (the tube from the kidney to the bladder). It will compare a flexible scope to a more rigid one in 100 adult patients with stones smaller than 2 cm. The main g…

This study is evaluating a surgical technique called ACL augmentation for people with partial tears of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. It will follow 30 patients aged 15-50 to see how well they recover after surgery. The main goal is to measure improvement in kn…

This study is testing if giving the drug tranexamic acid (TXA) very early after a traumatic brain injury can help control the body's harmful inflammatory response. Researchers will compare TXA to a placebo in 60 adults with mild-to-moderate head injuries to see if it reduces infl…

This study compares two ways of handling blood vessels during a two-part surgery to move an undescended testicle into the scrotum. It involves boys whose testicle cannot be felt and is located inside the abdomen. The goal is to see if cutting the vessels completely or tying them …

This study aims to find out if giving chemotherapy before bladder removal surgery affects how accurately MRI scans can stage the cancer. Researchers will compare MRI results from patients who receive chemotherapy first to those who go straight to surgery. The goal is to understan…

This study is testing a new type of MRI scan to see if it can accurately detect muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Researchers want to know if this shorter scan, which doesn't use a contrast dye, works as well as the standard, longer MRI. They will enroll 58 patients suspected of ha…

This study aims to see if special MRI scans taken early in chemotherapy treatment can predict whether a patient's muscle-invasive bladder cancer will respond. Researchers will scan 39 patients before treatment, 24 hours after their first chemotherapy dose, and after completing ch…

This study aims to improve the accuracy of thyroid nodule biopsies, which are used to check for cancer. Researchers will examine how factors like needle size and sampling technique affect whether a biopsy sample contains enough cells for a clear diagnosis. The goal is to reduce t…

This study is testing whether ultrasound imaging of nerves can help doctors diagnose Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) earlier than current methods. Researchers will perform nerve ultrasounds and standard nerve test…

This study aims to see which of two newer nerve-block techniques works better for pain control after open-heart surgery. Researchers will compare the Transversus Thoracic Muscle Plane Block (TTPB) and the Pectointercostal Fascial Block (PIFB) in 90 patients. The goal is to reduce…

This study compares two inhaled sedation methods to help children feel calm before cleft palate surgery and reduce agitation when waking up. Researchers are testing whether adding ketamine to dexmedetomidine works better than dexmedetomidine alone. The trial involves 60 children …

This study is testing whether behavioral therapy from a speech-language pathologist can help adults with a chronic cough that hasn't improved with standard medicines. It focuses on people whose cough is easily triggered by things like talking, laughing, or cold air. The therapy t…

This study aims to see if a single dose of the drug dexmedetomidine, given at the end of surgery, can help prevent agitation and confusion as children wake up from cleft palate repair. It will compare the drug against a placebo (saltwater) in 60 children aged 1 to 7 years. The ma…

This study is testing if a specific type of pain-blocking injection, given after major stomach surgery, can help patients breathe more easily. Researchers will measure how well the diaphragm moves and how much pain patients feel after the procedure. The goal is to see if this pai…

This study is testing whether a specific nerve block, called an erector spinae plane block (ESPB), can help reduce pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. Researchers will enroll 50 adult patients to see if this block lowers pain scores and reduces the total amount of opioid p…

This study is testing if adding a special type of exercise called blood flow restriction training to standard physical therapy works better for teenagers with a rigid, painful flatfoot condition. Researchers will compare the new combined program to standard physical therapy alone…

This study is testing whether a medication called tranexamic acid (TXA) can reduce blood loss and the need for blood transfusions in children undergoing major hip reconstruction surgery. Researchers will compare 400 children who receive TXA during surgery to those who do not. The…

This study aims to see which of two different nerve-block injection techniques is better at preventing long-term (chronic) pain after breast removal surgery (mastectomy). Researchers will compare a pectoral nerve block to a paravertebral block in 90 female patients. The goal is t…

This study is testing if soaking a throat pack in a steroid medicine before nose surgery can reduce the common and uncomfortable sore throat patients often feel after waking up. It will compare the steroid-soaked pack to a standard saline-soaked one in 90 adults having elective s…

This study is testing whether a pain medication (bupivacaine), given as a mist to breathe in before surgery, can better control pain in children after cleft palate repair. It will compare the mist to a placebo (saltwater) in 60 children aged 1-7 years. The main goal is to see if …

This study compares two pain medications (dexmedetomidine and ketamine) for adults with three or more broken ribs who are not having surgery. Researchers want to see which drug better preserves the strength of the main breathing muscle (the diaphragm) while effectively controllin…

This study compares two methods for managing pain after major abdominal cancer surgery. It tests a combined nerve block injection (TAP block) against the standard epidural pain relief. Researchers will measure which method provides better pain control with fewer side effects and …

This study is testing whether a drug called tranexamic acid, given as a mist (nebulized) before surgery, can reduce bleeding during sinus operations. It involves 90 adults scheduled for elective sinus surgery. The goal is to find a safe and effective dose that improves the surgic…
