Clinical trials

This study will test whether an interactive mobile game-based simulation program helps first-year nursing students improve their decision-making and problem-solving skills. Students will complete knowledge, decision-making, and problem-solving assessments before and after taking part in a 4-week program (8 sessions) that uses mobile game scenarios to practice clinical decisions in a safe, simulated setting. The results will show whether this type of training is more effective than traditional teaching methods for building these skills.

Forward Head Posture (FHP) is a common postural deviation characterized by anterior translation of the head relative to the trunk, which increases load on cervical muscles and joints. This postural change is associated with muscle fatigue, joint compression, and tension in cervical soft tissues, contributing to cervicogenic headache (Al-Mutairi et al., 20242; Koseoglu et al., 2023). The deep cervical flexor (DCF) muscles, especially the longus colli and longus capitis, are key stabilizers of the cervical spine, and weakness or fatigue of these muscles leads to overuse of superficial muscles such as the sternocleidomastoid and anterior scalene, creating an imbalance between deep and superficial systems. Diminished endurance of deep cervical flexors has been linked to forward head posture, impaired motor control, and persistent neck pain (Ismail et al., 2023). Cervical proprioception is crucial for accurate head position sense. Impaired cervical proprioception results in distorted information about head orientation, causing dizziness, incoordinated movement, and neck discomfort, and has been frequently observed in juniors with cervicogenic headache, increasing muscular strain and headache intensity. In the present study, therefore, we aim to investigate the correlation between FHP, cervical endurance, and proprioceptive function in junior students with cervicogenic headache

The purpose of the current study is to: Compare the effect of radiofrequency (TECAR) therapy and ultrasound on sensation, manual dexterity, and quality of life in individuals diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The study also correlates sensation, hand dexterity, and quality of life in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome.

Pregnancy and childbirth are uniquely important events in women's lives because they are accompanied by major physical, emotional, and psychological changes. Maternal satisfaction, emotional well-being, and perceptions of childbirth are strongly influenced by the quality of labor management. A woman's childbirth experience is shaped by multiple factors, including communication, autonomy, and active participation in the decision-making process. These factors are widely recognized as important indicators of the quality of maternity care. \[1\] Recent demographic changes and global population growth have placed increasing demands on healthcare systems, particularly maternal health services. High birth rates in some regions, combined with shortages of trained healthcare professionals, have created a need for scalable, adaptable, and innovative models of care. In response to these challenges, digital health technologies have emerged as promising tools to enhance the quality of maternity care and support both healthcare providers and pregnant women. \[2\]

1. Evaluate the effect of a structured aquatic therapy programme on static balance in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. 2. Assess the effect of the same programme on dynamic balance in this patient population. 3. Compare balance outcomes between children receiving aquatic therapy and those receiving conventional land-based physiotherapy.

The goal of this quasi-experimental pretest-posttest controlled study is to learn whether moderate-intensity treadmill exercise can improve gait kinematics, walking capacity, and motor performance in preschool children aged 48-72 months with surgically corrected acyanotic congenital heart disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does moderate-intensity treadmill training improve gait kinematics, including stride length, walking speed, and double-stance percentage? Does moderate-intensity treadmill training improve walking capacity and balance in children with surgically corrected acyanotic congenital heart disease? Researchers compared children with surgically corrected acyanotic congenital heart disease who received treadmill training with age-matched healthy children to see whether the exercise program could reduce gait, balance, and walking-capacity differences between the groups. Participants with congenital heart disease completed: Four treadmill walking sessions per week for 10 weeks. Moderate-intensity walking at approximately 70% of maximal heart rate. Pre- and post-intervention assessments of gait kinematics using three-dimensional motion analysis. Balance assessment using the Pediatric Balance Scale. Walking capacity assessment using the six-minute walk test.

In cervical radiculopathy, reduced endurance of the deep cervical flexor muscles is associated with impaired cervical proprioception. This relationship reflects altered sensorimotor control due to muscle dysfunction and neural compromise, emphasizing the need for deep flexor endurance training in rehabilitation.

Cervical radiculopathy is characterized by pain, sensory disturbances, and impaired neuromuscular control due to nerve root compression. Proprioception dysfunction is often an overlooked component of this condition and can affect balance, posture, and motor control. TECAR (Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive) therapy is a form of deep heat electrotherapy known to improve tissue perfusion and neuromuscular function. Although TECAR is widely used for pain relief and mobility, its role in improving proprioception remains under-investigated, especially in cervical conditions. This study aims to bridge this gap by assessing proprioceptive outcomes in patients with cervical radiculopathy receiving TECAR therapy.

This observational cross-sectional study aims to investigate the impact of cervical proprioception deficits on postural stability in patients with cervical spondylosis. Using pedobarographic analysis, the study will assess static balance parameters in affected individuals. The main question it aims to answer is: Does Cervical proprioception deficits affect postural stability in patients with cervical spondylosis measured by pedobarographic parameters?

This study aimed to assess the efficacy of cryotherapy in controlling Peripheral Neuropathy in cancer children
