Testing dexmedetomidine for kids having heart defect closure
This trial tests adding a sedative medicine called dexmedetomidine to standard anesthesia for children aged 3 to 12 who are having a procedure to close a hole in their heart (atrial septal defect). The goal is to see if it helps them recover more smoothly.
Alexandria, Alexandria GovernorateAges 3–12 - NCT06631690Recruiting
ACL surgery and ankle joint function study
This study looks at how ACL reconstruction knee surgery might affect the mechanics of your ankle joint. It aims to understand if the surgery changes how your ankle moves and works, which could help improve rehabilitation.
CairoAges 15–45 - NCT06632587Recruiting
Early vs. late skull replacement after brain surgery
This trial compares putting the skull piece back early (around 8 weeks after the initial surgery) versus later (after 8 weeks) in people who had a hemicraniectomy for high brain pressure. The goal is to see which timing leads to better outcomes.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06635213Recruiting
Desensitisation and pain education for carpal tunnel syndrome
This study tests whether desensitisation therapy and pain neuroscience education help people with carpal tunnel syndrome who have a type of pain called 'nociplastic' (pain without clear tissue damage). It aims to reduce pain and improve function.
KütahyaAges 18–65 - NCT06635291Recruiting
