This study will follow adults undergoing a biopsy for a suspected bone or soft tissue tumor to see how their stress and anxiety levels change before the biopsy, after receiving the diagnosis, and at treatment start.
-
Propofol Target-Controlled Infusion Models (Schnider vs Eleveld) During Spinal Surgery
This observational study tests whether two propofol target-controlled infusion models, Schnider and Eleveld, lead to different anesthetic depth and hemodynamic responses during the first 10 minutes of anesthesia induction in adults undergoing spinal surgery.
-
Compare how four pelvic osteotomy techniques change the hip socket shape in children and teens with DDH

-
Machine-learning prediction of curve progression and core stabilization exercises for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis.
This project will test whether a machine-learning tool can predict curve progression and whether a course of core stabilization exercises helps adolescents aged 10–18 with idiopathic scoliosis.
-
Gastric Volume Changes in Kids During Ventilation With Different Airway Devices
This study tests whether gastric volume in children changes depending on whether they are ventilated with an endotracheal tube or with one of two supraglottic airway devices.
-
Dextrose prolotherapy for chronic tailbone (coccydynia) pain
This study will try dextrose prolotherapy injections to see if they reduce chronic tailbone pain in adults who haven't improved after six months of conservative treatment.
-
Aromatherapy and computer-controlled local anesthesia to ease children's tooth extractions
This study tests whether inhaled lavender and orange aromatherapy and a computer-controlled local anesthesia system reduce anxiety and pain for 6–12-year-olds having a lower primary molar removed.
-
Attention-shift exercise program for rotator cuff–related shoulder pain
This will test whether doing shoulder exercises while also performing attention-shifting movements reduces pain and improves function for people with rotator cuff-related shoulder pain.
-
Exercise plus losartan for frozen shoulder
This trial will test whether adding a daily low dose of losartan to a four-week physiotherapy program helps adults with frozen shoulder have less pain and better shoulder motion and function than physiotherapy alone.
-
Guiding children's anesthesia with processed EEG to reduce postoperative behavior changes
This tests whether using processed EEG monitoring during surgery reduces long-term postoperative behavior changes in children aged 3–10 undergoing common pediatric surgeries.
-
Wrist splint positions for carpal tunnel syndrome
This study tests whether different wrist splint positions help people with carpal tunnel syndrome feel better and move more easily in everyday tasks.
-
Dual-task shoulder exercise program for rotator cuff–related pain
This trial tests whether doing shoulder exercises together with simple cognitive tasks helps adults with rotator cuff–related shoulder pain reduce pain and improve function compared with standard shoulder exercises.
-
Diaphragm ultrasound in children with obstructive sleep apnea
Doctors will use diaphragm ultrasound to see if children aged 1-12 with suspected obstructive sleep apnea have different diaphragm movement before and after surgery compared with kids having other elective ENT surgeries.
-
Improving smiles of children with amelogenesis imperfecta using anterior veneers
This project will try anterior veneer restorations on 11–14-year-olds with amelogenesis imperfecta to see if they improve oral health–related quality of life.
-
Dietary nitrate, oral bacteria, and blood pressure in children with primary hypertension
We will test whether differences in mouth bacteria and how saliva handles dietary nitrate are linked to blood pressure in 10–18-year-olds with primary hypertension compared with healthy peers.
-
Using foods of different hardness and size to map lower jaw movement and design occlusal surfaces.
We will test whether chewing foods of different hardness and size can be used to record lower jaw movements and help design better occlusal surfaces for adult dental students.
-
Occlusal splint and masseter Botox effects on jaw and neck muscles
We will test whether a custom jaw splint, Botox injections into the masseter muscles, or both, can change head and neck muscle activity in adults with myofascial pain syndrome.
-
VR-based upper limb training for kids and teens with Duchenne muscular dystrophy
This study tests whether immersive virtual reality plus standard physical therapy improves arm and hand function in young people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy compared with standard therapy alone.
