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.
This study aims to investigate the predictive value of quantitative sensory testing (QST) in identifying patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) who are at risk of developing nociplastic pain.
This is a prospective, randomized (1:1) controlled trial that will be carried out on 50 patients who are candidate to evaluate the effect of montelukast on doxorubicin induced cardiotoxicity after 4 cycles of AC. Patients will be randomly allocated into two equal groups (25 patients each); group (A) for controlled (placebo), and group (B) for montelukast. Blood samples will be collected from the study subjects and analyzed for serum levels of the NF-KB and pro-BNP. Assessment of the biomarkers will be done at two time points: at baseline and after treatment with montelukast.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of Wii Fit rehabilitation on risk of fall, balance, and functional limitation, in patients with chronic ankle instability ,The main question it aims to answer is: Are there any effect of Wii Fit rehabilitation training on balance, functional limitation, and risk of falls in patients with chronic ankle instability? Participants will be asked to sign a written informed consent form before the study according to guidelines of ethical committee The first group control group: 30 patients will receive conventional physical therapy training only which consist of strengthening, proprioceptive exercises. The second group experimental group: 30 patients Wii Fit group will receive Wii Fit rehabilitation training and the same conventional exercise training.
Methodology This study will enroll (120) patients presenting with acute anterior STEMI who will undergo early reperfusion presenting at Helwan University Hospitals and Ain Shams University Hospitals. Diagnosis of STEMI will be based on: Sustained ST-segment elevation of at least 1 mm in at least 2 contiguous leads or new/presumably new left bundle branch block, plus >Typical anginal pain, or > diagnostic levels of serum cardiac biomarkers, or > imaging evidence of new loss of viable myocardium or new regional wall motion abnormality. They will be subdivided into two (2) groups according to Dapagliflozin intake into: - Group A: Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) (60) patients, they will be further subdivided into 2 subgroups: Group A1: 30 patients will receive Dapagliflozin in addition to standard anti-ischemic and anti-diabetic treatment. Group A2: 30 patients will receive standard anti-ischemic and antidiabetic treatment (Dapagliflozin not included). - Group B: Patients without DM (60) patients, subdivided to 2 subgroups: Group B1: 30 patients will receive standard anti-ischemic treatment. Group B2: 30 patients will receiv up e standard anti-ischemic treatment and Dapagliflozin. Methodology in details: The study patients will undergo early reperfusion according to the recent practice guidelines and the local hospital policy in managing ST elevation MI patients. Echocardiography will be performed twice: within 48 hours of admission and 3 months following the index event. Management: Twelve-lead electrocardiogram will be recorded at baseline and 30-min post-procedure. The ST-segment changes will be evaluated in the single lead with the most prominent ST-segment elevation before intervention. The ST-segment elevation will be measured to the nearest 0.5 mm at 60 ms after the J point. Significant ST segment resolution (STR) is defined as a reduction in ST-segment elevation of 50% after 30 min of infarct artery recanalization. Immediately before the procedure, patients will receive aspirin (300 mg), ticagrelor (180 mg) or clopidogrel (600 mg) depending on availability. Adjunctive pharmacological treatment during the procedure will include: 1. Unfractionated heparin as an initial bolus of 70 U/kg and additional boluses during the procedure to achieve an activated clotting time of 250 to 350 s (200 to 250 s if Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb/IIIa) antagonist is used). Heparin will be discontinued at the end of percutaneous coronary intervention. 2. The use of a GPIIb/IIIa antagonist during the procedure, primary PCI technique, indications, and methods of thrombectomy if indicated will be done under the regulations of the local hospital policy and the most recent practice guidelines.
The aim of this study is to: • Evaluation of efficacy and safety of adding black seed oil with vonoprazan triple therapy ( vonoprazan ,clarithromycin and amoxicillin ) in eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection and this will be done through evaluation of: A. Efficacy by: 1. determination of successful eradication,which will be considered to be achieved on the basis of a negative stool antigen test four weeks after the end of treatment using Stool Ag test 2. The effect of N. Sativa on: I. Oxidative stress by measuring MDA II. Inflammation by measuring IL1B as inflammatory markers B. Safety will be done through: Monitoring of expected treatment related adverse effects (black seed oil and vonoprazan triple therapy ) will be done through the whole study period. C. Symptoms evaluation using the Gastrointestinal symptom rating scale D. Assessment of patient's quality of life using SF36 questionnaire
The study will enroll 113 participants, randomly will be assigned to one of three groups will receive either group A will receive combined therapy of biofeedback training and osteopathy techniques, group B will receive biofeedback training, group C will receive osteopathy technique only over a period of 10 weeks, followed by an 8-week follow-up period. Outcome measures will include the 24-hour pad test, Pediatric Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Score (PLUTSS), and the bladder diary.
the study aims to examine the validity of combined end-expiratory and end-inspiratory occlusion test and tidal volume challenge test for prediction of fluid responsiveness in immediate post-cardiac surgery patients
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound- guided IJV and supraclavicular SCV cannulation in infants weighing less than 5 kg.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent form of arthritis. Its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. Though historically regarded as a disease of mechanical degeneration, it is now appreciated that inflammation plays an important role in OA pathogenesis
In this study, we are aiming to systematically review the literature on the effect of HIIT on MS patients as improving physical performance, cognitive function, aerobic fitness and muscle strength. This could help guide the development of standardized clinical guidelines and direct clinical decision making by the physical therapists whether to implement this type of exercises or not.
