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.
Chronic pain is a common complication after cardiothoracic surgery. The prevalence of post-thoracotomy pain syndrome (PTPS) ranges from 33% to 91%. Exact pathogenetic mechanisms for developing chronic pain after thoracotomy are unknown. Apart from intraoperative nerve damage and subsequent postoperative neuropathic pain, operation techniques, age, sex, pre-existing pain, genetic and psychosocial factors, severe postoperative pain, and analgesic management are suspected to have an impact on the development of PTPS .
Egyptian HCM program aims at defining incidence, severity, phenotype, genotype and determinants of the disease in Egypt, and providing state-of-the-art treatment strategies including medical, surgical and interventional procedures which are patient- and disease-specific.
Assessment of peroneal nerve dysfunction after proximal fibular epiphyseal resection and evaluation of clinical outcome and EMG changes.
A cardiac pacemaker is an artificial apparatus that stimulates the myocardium electrically to depolarize, to begin a contraction when the heart's natural pacemaker does not work properly. Pacemakers are essential when dysrhythmias or conduction defects compromise the electrical system and the heart's hemodynamic response. The current status aimed to assess the feasibility of motivational interviewing on emotional intelligence, dispositional optimism, and adherence to care practices among patients with permanent pacemaker.
Based on the literature review, care must be emphasized on aspects of self-strengthening or self-affirmation to reduce stress and fear and equip women with the ability to manage stress and fear due to negative thoughts. Accordingly, the present study aimed to investigate and compare the effects of self-affirmation versus back massage on psychological distress and fear of birth among primigravid women in third trimester.
Cow's milk protein allergy is a sensitivity reaction against cow's milk protein and and is calcified as IgE-medaited, non- IgE mediated and mixed type according to the underlying immunological mechanism. Cow's Milk related Symptom Score ( CoMiSS) Considers general manifestation and dermatological, gastrointestinal and respiratory symptoms.
Pediatric orthopedic surgical procedures require a multimodal approach for anesthetic management that maximizes both patient comfort and safety. (1) A multimodal strategy for perioperative pain management is often required for children undergoing orthopedic surgery including pharmacological methods, and regional anesthesia (R.A). (1,2) Recent guidelines published jointly by the European Society of Regional Anesthesia (ESRA) and the American Society of Regional Anesthesia (ASRA) recommend that regional blocks can and should preferably be performed under general anesthesia or deep sedation in children of all ages. (3,4) Many studies investigated the safety of regional pediatric nerve blocks These studies showed pediatric complication rates consistent with adult data. These complications include nerve injury, intravascular injection and local anesthetics systemic toxicity (LAST), and acute compartmental syndrome. these complications have been minimized by ultrasound-guided nerve block in pediatrics. (5) The annual incidence of pediatric femoral fractures is estimated to be 19 per 100,000. Femoral fractures are usually associated with other injuries such as intracranial hemorrhages, lung contusions, hemothorax or pneumothorax, and other organ injuries which make regional anesthesia (R.A) is preferable as a sole technique or combined with general anesthesia to decrease the overall dosage of anesthetics and opioids. (6) The most tangible advantage of RA is profound and prolonged pain relief. Alternatively, pain relief can be given by opioids which are known to cause nausea, vomiting, respiratory depression, decrease in gut motility and increase apneic spells in the population vulnerable to the same. Nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drugs can affect the immature renal system adversely. RA offers pain relief without changing the physiological milieu. (7) Fascia iliaca Compartment Block (FICB) has been widely used for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing hip, femoral bone, and knee surgical procedures. FICB was first introduced by Dalens et al in 1989. This regional plane block technique was used to block the femoral nerve and the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve of the thigh and the obturator nerve with a high level of safety and success, well-suited for the anterolateral surgeries of the thigh. (8,9) Femoral nerve block (FNB) has been widely used for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing hip, and femoral bone surgical procedures, it provides anesthesia and analgesia for the lateral aspect of the thigh and the femur bone. (10,11) FICB has a wider range of anesthesia and analgesia in lower limbs compared to FNB. but the use of dilute injectate in FICB may minimize sensory and motor block than FNB. (1,16) This study will be conducted to evaluate the effects of FICB vs FNB in pain control in pediatrics undergoing femoral fracture repair surgery.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare modified versus conventional thoracolumbar interfascial plane block for perioperative analgesia in lumber spine surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: • Whether modified thoracolumbar interfascial plane block is as effective as the conventional block for perioperative analgesia in lumber spine surgery. 60 patients were enrolled in the study, divided by simple random sampling into 3 groups.
The purpose of the study is to find out the response of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) to abdominal fat reduction in central obese patients using: application of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (cavitation) on the abdominal region, aerobic exercise and a dietary regimen that will be low in calories (Low Caloric Diet) and low in fermentable oligo-, di-, mono- saccharides and polyols (low-FODMAPs).
