-
Postoperative tizanidine addition after pelvic reconstructive surgery
This study tests whether adding tizanidine to the usual postoperative pain plan helps adult women recover better after urogynecologic pelvic reconstructive surgery.
-
Using modified endovascular grafts to treat complex aortic aneurysms
This study is testing if specially modified grafts can safely repair complex aortic aneurysms in high-risk patients who can’t have regular surgery.
-
Increasing Physical Activity to Prevent Weight Regain After Bariatric Surgery
This study is testing whether a new psychological program can help people who had weight loss surgery stay active and avoid gaining weight back.
-
Training to improve working memory in adolescents with ADHD
This study is testing if a special memory training program can help improve brain function and reduce symptoms in teenagers with ADHD.
-
Comparing pain relief methods after cervical spine surgery
This study is testing if a special pain relief injection can help people feel less pain after cervical spine surgery compared to a fake injection.
-
Comparing pain relief methods for patients undergoing vascular surgery
This study is testing whether a single shot of a new pain medication can help people having vascular surgery feel less pain compared to the standard pain relief method.
-
Comparing two types of pain relief for laparoscopic colectomy
This study is testing if a new type of pain relief called liposomal bupivacaine works better than regular bupivacaine for patients having laparoscopic colectomy surgery.
