This study looks at how well physical exams and ultrasound can diagnose tennis elbow (lateral elbow tendinopathy). Researchers will compare these tests in 100 adults with elbow pain to find the most accurate method. The goal is to improve diagnosis and avoid unnecessary treatment…

This study tests whether supervised exercise sessions done at home (telerehabilitation) can improve exercise ability, breathing, fatigue, and quality of life in adults with elevated pulmonary artery pressure. Participants will be randomly assigned to either telerehabilitation or …

This small pilot study looks at whether a glass-hybrid filling can help children aged 7-13 who have a condition called Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH), which causes weak, sensitive teeth. The study will measure changes in chewing muscle activity and tooth sensitivity befor…

This study looks at whether avoiding opioids during lumbar spine surgery can still control pain well while reducing side effects like nausea and constipation. About 75 adults having elective lower back surgery will be assigned to one of three anesthesia methods: opioid-free, a mi…

This study is creating a large global database of people with Takayasu's arteritis, a rare disease that inflames and damages large arteries. Researchers will collect medical information from 1,000 patients over time to learn how the disease behaves and how it is treated around th…

This study uses ultrasound to measure tendon inflammation in 60 people with tennis elbow and compare it to healthy volunteers. The goal is to see if people with tennis elbow have inflammation in other tendons, not just the elbow. Participants will have an ultrasound exam, and no …

This study looks at how well people with cervical radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in the neck) can sense where their arm is in space, compared to healthy volunteers. Researchers will use a reaching test to measure this ability and see if it relates to pain and daily function. The …

This study looks at whether two simple calculations using heart rate and blood pressure, taken before surgery, can predict which women will have a dangerous drop in blood pressure after receiving spinal anesthesia for a planned C-section. About 300 women having elective C-section…

This study looks at how lipedema, a chronic fat tissue disorder, affects foot shape and function. Researchers will compare 32 women with lipedema to healthy women of similar age and weight. They will use X-rays and physical exams to check for flat feet and joint looseness, aiming…
