This study tests whether adding a special tape (TARS) during ACL reconstruction helps the knee heal stronger and more stable than standard surgery alone. Eighty people aged 18 to 44 with a torn ACL will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. Researchers will measure k…

This study tests two different nerve blocks to see which one works better for pain after single-level lumbar disc surgery. 70 adults will receive one of the blocks before surgery, and their pain and opioid use will be tracked for 24 hours. The goal is to find a more effective way…

This study compares giving a single dose of paracetamol or ibuprofen before septorhinoplasty (nose surgery) to see if it reduces the amount of opioid painkillers needed during and after surgery. Researchers will track total opioid use, pain scores, and recovery quality in 54 adul…

This study tests two different nerve block techniques to manage pain after lumbar spine surgery. Sixty adults undergoing single-level back surgery will receive either a standard or a modified block. The goal is to see which method reduces the need for opioid painkillers and impro…

This study looks at two simple breathing exercises—deep breathing and using a spirometer—to see which one helps people with broken ribs get more oxygen. About 104 adults with rib fractures from chest injuries will take part. The goal is to find the best way to prevent lung proble…

This study looks at whether a person's hemoglobin (a part of red blood cells) before emergency surgery is linked to developing acute kidney injury afterward. Researchers will follow 420 adults having non-cardiac emergency surgery. The goal is to better understand this connection,…

This study looks at two different nerve blocks used to manage pain after gallbladder removal surgery. Researchers will map where on the skin each block causes numbness and see which one covers the surgical cuts better. The goal is to learn more about these blocks to improve pain …

This study looks at whether a newer measure of body shape, called the Body Roundness Index (BRI), can better predict difficult airway placement during anesthesia in obese patients compared to standard BMI. Researchers will enroll 90 obese adults undergoing general anesthesia and …

This study looks at whether a person's body measurements and tendon size can help predict the size of a graft used in ACL knee surgery. Researchers will collect data from 90 patients to build a model that helps surgeons plan better before the operation. The goal is to improve sur…
