This study tests whether having a researcher hold the patient's hand or giving them a stress ball to squeeze can reduce pain and anxiety during cataract surgery. 108 adults having their first cataract surgery will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: hand holding, stress …

This study watches 60 women having laparoscopic hysterectomy to see if the head-down (Trendelenburg) position changes how brain monitors measure anesthesia depth. Researchers will record brain waves and oxygen levels before and after tilting. No extra treatments are given—just ca…

This study looks at whether combining intravenous and inhaled anesthesia helps women recover better after gynecologic surgery compared to inhaled anesthesia alone. One hundred women aged 18-65 will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods. Their recovery will be measured us…
