This study compared two types of nerve blocks for pain after total knee replacement. 60 adults received either an adductor canal block or an erector spinae plane block. The goal was to see which method better reduces pain and the need for opioid painkillers in the first 48 hours …

This completed study tested whether botulinum toxin type-A injections relieve pain from myofascial pain syndrome better than a standard local anesthetic (prilocaine). Thirty-eight adults with long-term muscle pain were randomly assigned to receive either botulinum toxin or priloc…

This study tested whether special nerve blocks (fascial plane blocks) can improve pain control and reduce time on a breathing machine after open-heart surgery. 206 adults having heart surgery were divided into two groups: one received the nerve blocks plus standard pain care, the…

This study looked at 60 adults who had chest surgery (thoracotomy) to see which nerve block method works better for pain relief. One group got a single nerve block, while the other got a combination of two blocks. Researchers measured pain scores and painkiller use over 72 hours …

This study tested a new type of nerve block called SPSIPB to see if it could reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after open-heart surgery. 70 adults having planned open-heart surgery took part. The researchers compared the new block to standard pain treatments to find…

This study looked at 60 people having knee replacement surgery to compare two types of nerve blocks for pain relief: the adductor canal block and the pericapsular nerve group block. The goal was to see which one provides better pain control and helps patients feel more comfortabl…

This study looked at how much numbing medicine works best for a nerve block after total knee replacement. The goal was to reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers. 90 adults having knee surgery took part. The results help doctors choose the right dose for better pain contr…

This study tested whether artificial intelligence models can correctly assign a standard surgical risk score (ASA Physical Status) to patients before surgery. Researchers compared AI-generated scores to those given by experienced anesthesiologists in 128 adult patients. The goal …

This study tested whether using a noninvasive monitor called Pleth Variability Index (PVI) to guide fluid replacement during heart surgery could improve outcomes. Eighty patients undergoing cardiac surgery received a technique called acute normovolemic hemodilution, where some bl…

This completed study looked at anxiety about COVID-19 in 200 adults with rheumatic diseases who were already taking either biologic or conventional disease-modifying drugs. Researchers called participants to measure their anxiety using a standard scale. The goal was to see if one…

This study looked at 65 adults with ankylosing spondylitis, a type of arthritis that affects the spine. Researchers wanted to see if a blood test called the CALLY index could measure inflammation better than patient-reported symptoms. They reviewed medical records and compared th…

This study looked at how different anesthesia gas flows affect brain pressure and oxygen levels in women having laparoscopic hysterectomy. 64 women were randomly assigned to either high-flow or low-flow anesthesia. The researchers measured brain pressure indirectly using eye ultr…

This study looked at 60 adults having total knee replacement to see if epidural anesthesia temporarily increases pressure inside the head, measured by ultrasound of the optic nerve sheath. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either epidural or spinal anesthesia. The go…

This study checked heart function before and after a 3-week mineral bath program in 44 adults with osteoarthritis. Researchers used heart ultrasounds to see if the baths changed how the heart pumps and relaxes. The goal was to learn more about the heart effects of this common the…

This completed study looked at 1100 COVID-19 patients in Turkey to see if their blood vitamin D levels were linked to how severe their illness became. Researchers measured vitamin D levels and compared them to disease outcomes. The goal was to learn whether current vitamin D guid…

This study tested whether warming or cooling the breathing tube before placing it in children having tonsil surgery could reduce serious breathing complications like throat spasms or drops in oxygen. Researchers compared two groups of children to see if tube temperature made a di…

This study checked how well doctors can find specific joints (knee, elbow, ankle, wrist) just by feeling them, compared to using an ultrasound machine. 30 doctors took part. The goal was to measure the difference between where they thought the joint was and where ultrasound showe…
