This study looked at whether taking misoprostol under the tongue before surgery helps women with a uterine niche (a pocket in the C-section scar) that causes long, heavy periods and spotting. 56 women who had at least one C-section and had abnormal bleeding for 3+ months took par…

This study looked at whether a single dose of ketamine can reduce depressive symptoms in adults undergoing a specific type of brain surgery (lumbo-peritoneal shunt insertion). The trial involved 110 participants aged 20-44 with moderate to severe depression. Researchers measured …

This study looked at whether taking probiotics can reduce levels of a protein called LRG1, which is linked to acne inflammation. Fifty adults with mild to moderate acne took probiotics, and researchers measured changes in their blood and skin. The goal was to see if probiotics co…

This study tested two common treatments—birth control pills and a hormonal IUD—for abnormal bleeding in women who had a C-section. 166 women took part, and researchers tracked how many spotting days they had over 6 months. The goal was to see which option better reduces bleeding …

This study tested whether giving lidocaine or dexmedetomidine during a bile duct procedure (ERCP) could reduce confusion and memory problems afterward in patients aged 65 and older. Thirty participants received one of the two drugs during surgery. The goal was to see which drug b…

This study tested whether adding hyaluronidase to a standard numbing medicine (bupivacaine) in a TAP block (a type of pain injection) could extend pain relief after cesarean section. 114 women scheduled for C-section participated. The main goal was to see how long pain relief las…

This study looked at 105 older adults (over 60) having hip fracture surgery to see if continuous spinal anesthesia (a tube that delivers numbing medicine over time) works better than a single shot of spinal anesthesia or general anesthesia for pain control. The researchers measur…

This small pilot study tested a rehab program that combines hold-relax stretching with progressive exercises in 6 teen athletes with Osgood-Schlatter disease. The goal was to see if it could reduce knee pain and improve movement. Early results suggest the approach may help, but l…
