This study is testing whether adding a special tape system to a standard ACL knee surgery leads to better results. It will compare the new combined approach against the standard surgery alone in 80 active adults with torn ACLs. Researchers will measure knee stability, function, a…

This study aims to see if giving a single dose of common painkillers like paracetamol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen before nose surgery can reduce the amount of strong opioid pain medication needed during and after the operation. It will involve 54 adults undergoing elective septo…

This study compares two different nerve-blocking techniques to see which one better controls pain after single-level lumbar disc surgery. Researchers will measure how much pain medication patients need and their pain levels after surgery. The goal is to find the most effective me…

This study is testing which of two simple breathing exercise methods works better to improve oxygen levels in patients recovering from broken ribs. Researchers will compare using a small handheld device (incentive spirometer) with performing deep breathing exercises without a dev…

This study compares two different nerve block techniques for managing pain after lumbar spine surgery. Researchers want to see which method provides better pain relief while reducing the need for opioid pain medications. The study involves 60 adults undergoing single-level back s…

This study aims to learn which of two numbing techniques works better for pain after gallbladder removal surgery. Researchers will observe 40 patients to see how much skin each technique numbs and how long the numbness lasts. The goal is to gather information to help doctors choo…

This study aims to understand if a new measurement of body shape, called the Body Roundness Index (BRI), is better than the standard Body Mass Index (BMI) at predicting how difficult it might be to place a breathing tube in obese patients. Researchers will observe 90 obese patien…

This study aims to understand if a patient's hemoglobin level (a measure of red blood cells that carry oxygen) before emergency surgery is linked to their risk of developing sudden kidney injury afterward. Researchers will observe 420 patients undergoing emergency surgery, record…
