This study looks at the best time to use shock wave therapy (ESWL) to break up small leftover kidney stones after surgery. About 476 adults with stones 15 mm or smaller will be split into two groups: one gets ESWL within 1-2 weeks after surgery, the other waits 3-4 weeks. The goa…

This study looks at whether a special ultrasound technique, shear wave elastography, can safely and accurately tell the difference between normal kidney swelling during pregnancy and swelling caused by a blockage that needs treatment. Researchers will measure kidney stiffness in …

This study tests whether using a clindamycin vaginal cream or a povidone-iodine vaginal wash before a planned C-section better prevents wound infections. About 150 healthy pregnant women between 37-40 weeks will participate. The goal is to find the most effective method to reduce…

This study tests whether adding probiotic supplements to usual care can reduce pain, stiffness, and improve physical function in people with knee osteoarthritis. About 146 adults with knee OA will take probiotics or a placebo alongside their standard treatment. The goal is to see…

This study tests two different ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to see which provides better pain relief after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (weight loss surgery). About 90 adults aged 18-65 with a BMI over 40 will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two blocks. The main g…

This study tests whether pentoxyfilline, a drug that improves blood flow, can thicken the uterine lining and increase pregnancy rates in women with unexplained infertility who are using frozen embryos. About 100 women will take the drug before their embryo transfer. The main goal…

This study tests whether adding deep breathing exercises to standard core stability exercises can improve lung function and physical ability in people with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). AS can cause stiffness in the spine and chest, making it hard to breathe deeply. The trial will…

This study tests whether a combination of diosmin and hesperidin (natural plant compounds) can prevent kidney damage caused by platinum-based chemotherapy in cancer patients. About 100 adults aged 18-75 receiving platinum chemotherapy will take the supplement or a placebo. The go…

This study tests whether adding breathing exercises and leg muscle stimulation to standard care helps people hospitalized with heart failure. 135 participants will be split into three groups: one gets both breathing training and leg stimulation, one gets only breathing training, …

This study tests whether a special type of pelvic floor exercise, guided by biofeedback, can improve sexual function and pelvic health in women who had radiation for cervical cancer. Sixty survivors aged 30-60 will be randomly assigned to either biofeedback-assisted training or s…

This study looks at whether adding cognitive (brain) training to standard stretching and strengthening exercises can better reduce pain, improve foot function, and enhance balance in people with plantar fasciitis. About 80 adults with heel pain will be split into two groups: one …

This study tests whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the vocal cords during surgery helps people recover their voice better than surgery alone. Sixty-four adults with non-cancerous vocal cord growths will be split into two groups: one gets PRP, the other standard ca…

This study tests whether tadalafil, a drug that improves blood flow, can help women with unexplained infertility have better pregnancy outcomes during IVF. About 100 women with good-quality frozen embryos will take tadalafil to see if it thickens the uterine lining and increases …

This study tests whether adding growth hormone and DHEA (a natural hormone) before IVF can increase the number of mature eggs in women with poor ovarian reserve. About 165 women will take one of these treatments for several weeks before their IVF cycle. The goal is to see which a…

This study looks at whether a special ultrasound technique, called shear wave elastography, can predict how well a non-surgical treatment (ESWL) will break up kidney stones in children. Currently, doctors use CT scans to estimate stone hardness, but these expose children to radia…

This study looks at how two common diabetes drug combinations (DPP-4 inhibitors with metformin vs. SGLT2 inhibitors with metformin) affect memory and depression risk in older adults with type 2 diabetes. Researchers will track changes in thinking skills and mood over time using s…
