A study of two drug combinations for ovarian cancer that came back
This trial tests a common chemotherapy (Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin) plus an immunotherapy (Adebrelimab), with or without a bladder medication (Mirabegron), in people whose ovarian cancer has returned after initial treatment. The goal is to see if adding Mirabegron helps the other drugs work better.

Vacuum Sealing Drainage for Infected Surgical Wounds
This trial tests whether a special vacuum-sealed dressing (called VSD) helps heal surgical wounds that became infected after obstetric or gynecological surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment speeds healing and reduces complications.
MinyaAges 18–70 - NCT07062731Recruiting
Pelvic Floor Exercises After Childbirth Tear

Peanut ball positioning in first-time mothers with epidural
This study tests whether lying on your side with a special peanut-shaped ball between your legs during labor helps first-time mothers who have an epidural have a smoother delivery. If you qualify, you will be randomly assigned to use the peanut ball or receive standard care, and researchers will track how your labor and delivery go.

Sensory therapy for kids with brachial plexus injury
This study tests whether sensory integration therapy helps young children with a brachial plexus injury (nerve damage in the arm from birth) improve their development. It may be a good option for children who have not had other therapies recently and do not have other major health issues.
AnkaraAges 7 months–2.9 years - NCT02193542Recruiting
Study of breathing tube and epidural difficulty in childbirth
This study observes how often pregnant people have a difficult airway (trouble placing a breathing tube) or difficult neuraxial placement (like an epidural) during childbirth. It helps doctors improve safe delivery care.
