This trial tests whether brief, video-guided jaw relaxation or breathing exercises can reduce anxiety and fear in children aged 4 to 10 who are having burn dressings changed. Children in a pediatric burn unit will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: jaw relaxation, breat…

This trial asks whether discharge education personalized by artificial intelligence can improve recovery after coronary artery bypass grafting. About 80 adults who have had elective bypass surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either standard discharge education or standar…

This study tests whether a mild electrical stimulation device (TENS) can reduce spasticity—stiff, tight muscles—in adults who had a stroke at least six months ago. Only 4 people will take part, and they will receive TENS for 30 minutes while researchers measure muscle responses. …

This study tests whether a device that sends mild electrical pulses to wrist muscles can reduce spasticity (tightness) after a stroke. Four adults with post-stroke wrist stiffness will receive 20-minute sessions of neuromuscular electrical stimulation. Researchers will measure mu…

This study tests whether a flurbiprofen spray or ice cream can reduce throat pain and improve voice quality after thyroid removal. One hundred adults having thyroid surgery will receive either the spray, ice cream, or a placebo spray five hours after their operation. Researchers …

This study looks at whether corrective exercises can reduce pain, improve daily function, and help walking in people with chronic neck pain. Researchers will measure walking speed and balance while doing simple tasks. The study involves 70 adults who have had neck pain for at lea…

This study tests three methods of checking the pressure in the breathing tube's cuff during breast surgery to see which causes the least throat pain, hoarseness, cough, and trouble swallowing afterward. About 90 women having elective breast surgery will be randomly assigned to co…

This study looks at 48 critically ill adults on breathing machines to see which method better predicts if they need more fluids. Doctors will compare a standard blood pressure measure with an ultrasound-based heart measurement during a leg-raising test. The goal is to help ICU te…

This study looks at whether measuring changes in exhaled carbon dioxide (a breath test) during a leg-raising maneuver can help predict if a critically ill patient needs more fluids. Doctors often struggle to balance giving enough fluids without causing harm from too much. The stu…
