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 calculous cholecystitis is associated with common bile duct (CBD) stones in approximately 12% of patients. These patients need both cholecystectomy and CBD clearance of stones. The standard for cholecystectomy is laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and the mostly common treatment used for CBD clearance is Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). The two interventions can be combined to be done at the same time under single anesthesia session. Studies of single stage ERCP+LC showed confirmed the safety and efficacy of the combined technique. However, some surgeons start with the ERCP while others start with LC.The aim of this study is to compare the start with ERCP followed by LC to the start with LC followed by ERCP when the two techniques are combined at the same session for treatment of chronic calculous cholecystitis associated with CBD stones regarding efficacy and safety of the two approaches.
60 patients aged older than 60 years, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class II or III and scheduled for major hip surgery will be randomized, in to two groups anesthetized using continuous spinal anesthesia or using continuous epidural anesthesia.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of adding omega 3 and dipeptiven to standard feeding in head and neck patients who will undergo oral cavity tumour resection or mandibular tumour resection (immunonutrrition mixture) on wound infection, fistula formation and length of hospital stay ,total dose of intraoperative and postoperative opioids (opioid consumption and pain incidence ,mortality and other postoperative complications as urinary tract infection (UTI) and pneumonia.
A randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the additional effect loaded gait training to conventional physical therapy program on gross motor function and the knee extensors strength in children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy. Children were divided randomly into two equal groups. The control group received a conventional physical therapy program, while the intervention group received the same program plus loaded gait training. Gross motor functions and knee extensor strength were measured.
The aim of this study will be to detect if there is awareness of gynecologists about the role of physical therapy in genital prolapse. Physical therapy plays an important role in assessment, prevention and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction and genital prolapse, it helps to stimulate and strength pelvic floor muscle. Physical therapy treatments for the pelvic floor may include bladder training, pelvic floor muscles training with or without biofeedback, vaginal cones, electro stimulation or other adjuncts to training.

this study aim to evaluate the multi-looped lingual retainer activated by a new method to relief the anterior crowding
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the development of glucose intolerance (GI) during pregnancy in a previously normoglycemic (NG) woman and associated with insulin resistance (IR). GDM is the most prevalent metabolic disorder during pregnancy and became a major public health problem for being usually diagnosed and detected after 24 gestational weeks (GW), while its complications can occur much earlier and this may explain its burden on maternal and fetal welfare. Human zonulin is a surrogate marker of intestinal permeability and can be utilized as biomarker for intestinal barrier function. Zonulin-mediated increase in intestinal permeability plays a role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance, obesity, DM and metabolic syndrome. The increasing global prevalence of GDM with its associated risk of poor pregnancy and long-term risks for the mother and the offspring may lead to the production of new generation of diabetics.
Determine the prevalence of lumbosacral radiculopathy among pediatric physiotherapists in the ministry of health in Cairo, Egypt.
Fourteen completely edentulous patients were selected to participate in this study. From the outpatient clinic of Prosthodontic Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Ain Shams University. After fabrication of complete denture for all patients, patients were randomly divided to: Group A: Seven patients were rehabilitated with implant retained maxillary overdenture where four Straumann BLX® implant were inserted opposed by mandibular complete denture. Group B: Seven patients were rehabilitated with implant retained maxillary overdenture where four conventional acid etched implants were inserted opposed by mandibular complete denture. After implant placement using surgical guide, smart peg and ostell device were used to measure the primary stability of the implant then cover screw was placed and after six weeks, secondary stability was measured for both groups. After four months, the second stage started in which exposure of the implant fixtures took place and pick up was carried out. Patients were recalled frequently for post-insertion inspection and adjustment.
