Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion is a common neck surgery that can leave people with swallowing trouble, weaker breathing muscles, neck pain, and reduced quality of life. This trial tests whether a structured rehabilitation program improves those problems. Sixty adults who…

This trial tests whether a new ultrasound-guided nerve block, called the quadro-iliac plane block, can reduce pain and the need for opioid painkillers after posterior spinal instrumentation surgery. The study includes 60 adults undergoing this surgery. All patients receive standa…

This trial compares two types of nerve blocks, the adductor canal block and the parasartorial compartment block, for pain relief and recovery after arthroscopic knee surgery. Adults scheduled for elective knee surgery will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two blocks. Re…

This study looks at two ways to help people recover after surgery for a slipped disc in the lower back. One group will start moving early, and the other will do the same plus get mild electrical stimulation on their muscles. The goal is to see which approach reduces pain and impr…

This study tests a type of physical therapy called PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) for people who have had a stroke. The therapy uses specific leg exercises to improve balance, walking, and daily function. Sixty adults aged 40-80 who can walk with or without help …

This study tests whether adding Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) to standard rehab can reduce leg stiffness, build muscle strength, and improve walking in people with paraplegia. Forty adults with spinal cord injury will be split into two groups: one gets rehab alone, the …

This study tests if a treatment called extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) can reduce leg muscle stiffness and improve walking in people who have had a stroke. About 85 adults who had a stroke at least 3 months ago will get either real ESWT or a fake (sham) version, plus sta…

This study looks at whether a back massage with mentholated ointment (like Vicks) can lower pain and anxiety in people who just had coronary bypass surgery. 120 adults will be split into three groups: one gets a back massage with mentholated ointment, one gets a back massage with…

This study looks at whether a Low-FODMAP diet can help people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) by reducing leaky gut, easing symptoms, and improving quality of life. Twenty-four adults with IBS will follow either a Low-FODMAP or a traditional diet for four weeks. Researchers w…

This study follows adults with carpal tunnel syndrome who are scheduled for carpal tunnel release surgery. Researchers will measure sleep quality, fatigue, fear of movement, pain, and hand function before surgery and again at 4 and 8 weeks after. The goal is to see how these fact…

This study follows 100 adults who are already scheduled for carpal tunnel release surgery, a standard procedure to relieve pressure on the median nerve in the wrist. Researchers will measure nerve conduction before surgery and again months later, while also tracking symptoms, han…

This trial tests three warm-up routines in male amateur basketball players aged 15–25: a standard dynamic warm-up alone, or the same warm-up followed by either classical or short-duration PNF stretching. Researchers measure jump height, sprint time, agility, flexibility, and bala…

This study tests whether having physiotherapy students act out clinical scenarios as both 'clinician' and 'patient' improves their confidence and readiness more than traditional case discussions. About 200 senior students will participate over 12 weeks. The goal is to find a low-…
