This study compares two non-invasive treatments—magnetic field therapy and tibial nerve stimulation—for women with urge urinary incontinence (sudden, strong urges to urinate leading to leaks). Forty women will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments over six weeks. Rese…

This study compares two treatments for plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain. One treatment, prolotherapy, involves injecting a sugar solution to help the tissue heal. The other, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), uses sound waves to stimulate healing. The study w…

Researchers are testing whether a blood protein called GDF-15 is higher in people with carpal tunnel syndrome than in people without it. They will compare GDF-15 levels with symptom scores and nerve test results in about 60 adults. The goal is to see if this protein could serve a…

This study looks at whether a protein called CTGF/CCN2, found in the blood, is linked to chronic plantar fasciitis—a condition causing persistent heel pain. Researchers will compare CTGF levels in people with the condition to those without, and see if higher levels relate to wors…

This study looks at whether 'central sensitization' — a condition where the nervous system is overly sensitive to pain — affects how well physical therapy works for people with partial rotator cuff tears. Researchers will follow 60 adults aged 18-65 who have had shoulder pain for…

This study investigates whether a natural molecule called Maresin-1, which helps reduce inflammation, is linked to lipedema—a chronic condition causing painful fat buildup in women. Researchers will measure Maresin-1 levels in the blood of women with lipedema, women with obesity …

This study investigates whether alexithymia—a condition where people struggle to identify and describe their emotions—affects how well patients with knee osteoarthritis respond to physical therapy. Sixty participants aged 40 to 75 with moderate knee osteoarthritis will receive a …

This study looks at whether placing a catheter in a neck vein changes pressure inside the skull. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure the optic nerve sheath and carotid artery in 61 adults under general anesthesia. The goal is to understand short-term effects, not to test a…

This observational study will measure two substances in the blood—COMP and MMP-3—in 60 people with knee osteoarthritis and healthy controls. Researchers want to see if these markers relate to pain, function, and X-ray findings. No treatment is given; the goal is to better underst…

This study will measure two proteins (myostatin and irisin) in the blood of 60 postmenopausal women aged 50-65. Researchers will group participants by bone density (normal, low, or very low) and test their muscle strength. The goal is to see if these proteins are linked to bone a…
