This trial tests whether rifaximin, an antibiotic that works in the gut, can improve low platelet counts in people with hepatitis C-related cirrhosis. Low platelets are common in cirrhosis and can raise the risk of serious bleeding. Researchers will give 165 participants either r…

This study tested two surgical methods to repair varicoceles (enlarged veins in the scrotum) in 60 men with fertility issues or pain. One group had a loupe-assisted surgery with a nitroglycerin spray to help see blood vessels, while the other had standard microscopic surgery. The…

Researchers compare two ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to see which better controls pain after breast cancer surgery. Adults scheduled for mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery receive either a rhomboid intercostal block or a thoracic paravertebral block. The trial measures how…

This study tests two types of nerve blocks (EXORA and ESP) to see which one works better for pain after gallbladder removal. About 114 adults having laparoscopic gallbladder surgery will receive one of the blocks before surgery. The goal is to find which block reduces the need fo…

This study tested a newer, potentially safer nerve block (MTP block) against the standard one (thoracic paravertebral block) for pain after chest surgery. 180 adults having lung surgery through a large chest incision were included. The goal was to see if the newer block provides …

This study tested a new type of nerve block called the PENG block in 60 adults having hip surgery. The goal was to see if it reduces pain and the need for opioid painkillers after the operation. The block targets nerves around the hip joint while avoiding leg muscle weakness.

This study looked at two methods of giving a nerve block to control pain after lumbar spinal fusion surgery. One method used ultrasound to guide the injection, while the other was done by the surgeon during the operation. Both used a mix of numbing medicine and a drug that helps …

This study compared two ultrasound-guided pain blocks—caudal block and quadratus lumborum plane block—in 111 adults undergoing lumbar spine surgery. The goal was to see which provides better pain relief and reduces the need for opioid painkillers. Researchers measured how long it…

This study tested three different nerve blocks to control pain after shoulder surgery in 40 adults. The goal was to see if a newer block could provide good pain relief without the side effects of the standard block. Researchers measured pain using a scale from 0 to 100.

This study looked at whether giving oxygen through a small tube in the nose during anesthesia can prevent dangerously low oxygen levels in children having their tonsils and adenoids removed. 140 children aged 3-10 took part. The goal was to see if this simple technique helps keep…
