NCT07370142
Purpose of the Study: This study aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and long-term outcomes of "Sphenopalatine Ganglion (SPG) Pulsed Radiofrequency (PRF)" treatment in patients with chronic headaches and facial pain. The SPG is a major neural junction for craniofacial pain signaling. PRF is a safe, minimally invasive technique that modulates pain transmission without causing thermal damage to the nerve tissue. Methodology: The study will include 55 volunteer patients at the Ankara Bilkent City Hospital Algology Clinic who are unresponsive to medical treatments. Patients will undergo the standard "fluoroscopy-guided infrazygomatic approach." Pain intensity (VAS), quality of life, patient satisfaction, and changes in analgesic consumption will be recorded at baseline and during follow-up visits at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months post-procedure using various clinical parameters. Expected Benefits and Risks: The research intends to provide evidence regarding the 6-month long-term impact of this intervention on pain scores and patient well-being. Since the study follows routine clinical practices, it poses no additional risks to participants and aims to optimize future treatment strategies.
NCT05889494
The goal of this pilot trial is to test a protocol for a planned Canada-wide clinical trial looking at whether or not the use of a patients own blood works as good as the current standard of care using donated blood products to reduce blood loss in adult patients having heart surgery. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Is the protocol practical, effective, and efficient. * Does the use of a patients own blood lower the following: bleeding, the amount donated blood products given, and complications. Participants will be separated into two groups by a process that is like flipping a coin. One group will donate blood to themselves in the operating room and get their own blood back after surgery. The other group will be given blood products donated by other humans to treat the bleeding after heart surgery. Researchers will compare both groups to see if patients that get their own blood have fewer donated blood products given at time of heart surgery and have less complications after surgery.
