This study is testing a special suction tube attached to a flexible camera to remove kidney stones from the lower part of the kidney. About 33 adults with lower calyx stones will get this procedure. The main goal is to see if the new tool clears more stones than standard methods.

This study tests whether microneedling combined with either lactic acid, vitamin D3, or a steroid (triamcinolone acetonide) can help regrow hair in people with patchy alopecia areata. About 88 participants aged 16 and older with small bald patches will receive one of the three co…

This study compares using a targeted nerve block (regional anesthesia) versus general anesthesia for tympanoplasty, a surgery to repair the eardrum. About 128 adults aged 21-65 will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods. The main goal is to see if the nerve block allows …

This study compares two methods of delivering Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to treat atrophic acne scars: injectable PLLA and PLLA mono-threads. 24 adults with moderate to severe acne scars will receive one treatment on each side of their face. The goal is to see which method improve…

This study tests three different injections—exosomes, platelet-rich plasma, and steroids—to see which works best for long-lasting nerve pain after shingles. Forty-five adults with pain for at least 90 days will receive four treatments every two weeks. Researchers will measure pai…

This study tests a newer nerve block technique against a standard one for controlling pain from multiple broken ribs. The goal is to see if the newer method reduces pain, helps patients breathe easier, and shortens hospital stays. About 36 adults with at least two rib fractures w…

This study compares two minimally invasive procedures—cooled and thermal radiofrequency—to relieve chronic lower back pain caused by worn facet joints. About 100 adults aged 30 to 70 who have had pain for at least 3 months and haven't gotten relief from medication or physical the…

This study tests whether adding a nerve block to a standard steroid injection provides better pain relief for people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). About 50 adults aged 41-65 who have not improved with basic care will be randomly assigned to receive either the combin…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks (retrosuperior costotransverse ligament block vs. erector spinae block) to see which provides better pain relief after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. The goal is to reduce the need for strong opioid painkillers and improve patient …

This study tests whether injecting exosomes (tiny particles from cells that help repair skin) into atrophic scars can improve their appearance. Twelve adults with multiple depressed scars on their face will receive either exosome or saltwater injections, and neither they nor the …

This study compares three medications (dexmedetomidine, fentanyl, and magnesium sulfate) used alongside standard anesthesia for people having brain tumor surgery. The goal is to see which one reduces the total amount of main anesthetic needed and helps patients wake up faster for…
