There are about 11256 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Egypt. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
Nocturnal Enuresis (NE) is defined as the involuntary passage of urine during sleep past the age of usual control, which is considered a developmental age of 5 to 7 years. NE is a common problem that causes distress to both children and their families. It has an adverse impact on behavior and social life, affects self-esteem, and can result in poor emotional well-being. In Egypt, the prevalence of NE in primary school children is about 15.4%. The family history was seen to have had a markedly significant impact on the occurrence of NE in the studied children. The mainstay of treatment is urotherapy with information and psychoeducation about normal lower urinary tract function, the underlying cause of MNE, disturbed bladder dysfunction in the child with NMNE, and instructions about therapeutic strategies. Alarm therapy and desmopressin are effective in randomized trials. Children with NMNE first need treatment of the underlying daytime functional bladder problem before treatment of nocturnal enuresis.
Asthma is a syndrome characterized by airway inflammation, reversible airway obstruction, and airway hyper-responsiveness. Patients present clinically with recurrent wheezing, shortness of breath, cough, and chest tightness. Asthma is a leading cause of morbidity with a global prevalence of approximately 300 million; it is estimated that the number of people with asthma may increase to 400 to 450 million people worldwide by 2025. Severe asthma is not considered a single disease; instead, it is divided into several phenotypes, owing to the variety of inflammatory, clinical, and functional characteristics that it can present with. One of the proposed and most studied phenotypes is severe eosinophilic asthma. Patients with severe asthma that is accompanied by a high concentration of eosinophils require greater healthcare resource use, greater disease management costs, and a much more impaired QoL than those who do not present with raised eosinophilia. While the number of targeted treatments for asthma management has been growing in recent years, the heterogeneity of clinical presentations, treatment responses, and inflammatory processes involved represent an added challenge for health care professionals. Thus, severe asthma management is a complex endeavor, and a thorough and up-to-date understanding of the pathophysiologic characteristics of the patient population promotes effective therapeutic decision-making. This cross-sectional, multicenter study aims to determine the prevalence of oral corticosteroid (OCS) use among severe asthma patients who attend to different sites specialized in the management of severe asthma across Egypt. In addition, the prevalence of eosinophilic phenotype of blood eosinophil count ≥ 150 cells/mm3, prevalence of atopic phenotype, and asthma control will also be studied.
The study will be conducted to evaluate the outcome of expansion palatoplasty in management of OSAS.
Acne vulgaris is the most common skin disease in adolescents and young adults. Adult or post-adolescent acne occurs in 12-14% of this population.It is a chronic, inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous unit .The clinical features of acne include seborrhoea, non-inflammatory lesions (open and closed comedones), inflammatory lesions (papules and pustules), and various degrees of scarring. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is prepared by simple centrifugation of whole blood to concentrate platelets and simultaneously remove red blood cells. The resultant supernatant is the PRP that contains various growth factors, including platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor (TGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF).These growth factors are involved in the healing of soft tissue and can regulate cellular processes such as chemotaxis, angiogenesis, mitogenesis, differentiation, and metabolism . Topical retinoids are used in the treatment of both noninflammatory and inflammatory acne.Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved three topical retinoids: adapalene, tazarotene, and tretinoin. These agents help normalize follicular keratinization and decrease keratinocyte cohesiveness, thereby reducing follicular occlusion and comedon formation .Topical retinoids also compete with factors involved in the acne inflammation response, enhance penetration of other topical acne medications, and accelerate the resolution of acne-induced post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Updates from the Global Alliance on Improving Outcomes in Acne consider topical retinoids as first-line therapy, individually or in combination with benzoyl peroxide. However, the common side effects of skin irritation and discomfort may impede adherence to long-term therapy. For patients with acne, combination therapy with a topical retinoid and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has not yet been tested. PRP with topical retinoids will be evaluated and campared with topical retinoids alone in acne tretment.
To compare the therapeutic efficacy of PRP and PRF: two relatively newer modalities in the management of chronic non-healing ulcers versus conventional treatment.
Postoperative pain management is essential and the inability to treat acute pain appropriately in the first 48 postoperative hours represents a risk factor for developing chronic pain. No. study has investigated IP granisetron as an adjuvant to standard care for postoperative pain management in patients undergoing LC.
the goal of this clinical trial study is to compare between posterior innominate mobilization and muscle energy techniqueon lumbopelvic angles in sacroiliac joint dysfunction patients. the main questions they aim to answer are 1. are there statistical significant effects of posterior innominate mobilization versus muscle energy technique on lumbopelvic angles in sacroiliac joint dysfunction patients ? 2. are there statistical significant effects of posterior innominate mobilization versus muscle energy technique on pain intensity level in sacroiliac joint dysfunction patients ? - purpose of the study is to measure the effect of muscle energy technique versus posterior innominate mobilization on lumbopelvic angles in sacroiliac joint dysfunction
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of high-intensity laser acupuncture versus low intensity laser acupuncture on peak torque of trunk extensors, fatigue of trunk extensors, back pain, ROM and function in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNLBP).
It is an interventional study in which 60 stroke patients estimated to enroll according to random allocation and will divided into two groups. The study group participants will involve in Telerehabilitation sessions will be based on low-impact rhythmic movements, guided by video with the Baduanjin exercise program ,the control group will receive the same aerobic exercises only
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of epidural oxycodone for pain management after lower limb amputation.
