This study compares two types of dental crowns: one made with a 3D printer and one made with a standard CAD-CAM machine. Twelve people with two damaged teeth will get one of each crown to see which performs better in terms of look, function, and gum health over two years. The goa…

This study tests two methods for cleaning deep cavities in permanent teeth: removing all decayed tissue (total removal) or leaving a thin layer near the nerve (selective removal). Researchers want to see which approach better keeps the tooth alive and causes less pain after treat…

This study tests whether squeezing a stress ball during wound cleaning (debridement) helps reduce pain, distress, and changes in heart rate or blood pressure in people with diabetic foot ulcers. About 84 adults with type 2 diabetes will be randomly assigned to use a stress ball o…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks (paravertebral block and external oblique intercostal block) to standard pain medicine for people having gallbladder removal surgery. About 147 adults will be randomly assigned to one of three groups to see which approach reduces pain…

This study tests three different agents (sodium hypochlorite, chlorhexidine, and cold saline) to stop bleeding during a partial pulpotomy, a dental procedure that removes part of the tooth's pulp. Researchers will track pain levels and pulp survival in 75 adults with cavities tha…

This study tests whether a short training program, including a brochure and follow-up phone calls, can improve self-efficacy in people who have a permanent colostomy after colorectal surgery. Researchers will enroll 70 patients and measure their confidence in stoma care and socia…

This study follows children aged 2-17 with eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGID) to see how elimination diets—removing foods like milk, eggs, or wheat—affect their symptoms and gut healing. Doctors choose the diet as part of routine care, and researchers track clinical a…

This study compares two drugs—sugammadex and neostigmine—used to reverse muscle relaxation after surgery. Researchers will measure the optic nerve sheath diameter (the nerve behind the eye) using ultrasound at key times during recovery. The goal is to see if one drug causes less …

This study tests whether a structured, stage-based educational program can improve HPV knowledge, health beliefs, and vaccination intentions among first-year nursing students. 88 participants will be randomly assigned to receive the program or no education. The goal is to see if …

This study looks at how the dose and storage conditions of a dye called indocyanine green (ICG) affect its ability to find sentinel lymph nodes during surgery for cervical, endometrial, and vulvar cancers. Researchers will enroll 30 patients to see which approach works best and s…

This study tests whether regular phone counseling can improve how well people follow nutrition, exercise, and medication plans after bariatric surgery. Researchers will enroll 80 patients who had sleeve gastrectomy and provide tele-counseling at set intervals after discharge. The…

This study looks at how the drug mannitol changes levels of the anesthetic propofol in the blood and urine during brain surgery. Forty adults having either supratentorial tumor surgery or pituitary surgery will be enrolled. Half will receive mannitol, the other half a placebo, an…
