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.

Most of the recommendations regarding pain management in emergency abdominal surgery are extracted from data from elective abdominal surgery. However, surgery in the emergency settings differs from the elective settings in the extent stress and the pain which is usually present preoperatively; therefore, it is expected to have different analgesic requirements and different response to pain management interventions in emergency surgery. Abdominal wall blocks are increasingly used in abdominal surgery. However, data regarding their efficacy in emergency setting are lacking. Oblique-subcostal transversus abdominis plane block (OS-TAPB) is a variation of the subcostal TAPB that could achieve effective analgesia for both upper and lower parts of the abdomen. The TAPB characterized by being easy to perform and does not require patient repositioning. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is another abdominal wall block that showed good analgesic effect following various elective open abdominal surgeries, but the block requires patient repositioning before block performance. In elective abdominal surgeries, the current evidence slightly supports ESPB over the TAPB. We hypothesize that the difference between the two blocks would be more apparent in in emergency surgery due to the type of incision, extent of tissue manipulation, and severity of pain.
The goal of these Observational study is to learn about pediatric airway the main question to answer is: 1-Is using point-of-care ultrasound provide an easy, early, and accurate preoperative assessment of the challenging pediatric airway and the endotracheal tube sizing more than traditional methods.
The goal of this interventional study is to evaluates the surgical treatment outcomes of Developmental Dysplasia of Hip with and without capsulorrhaphy between 1-6 years of age . it compares the effectiveness of these approaches in improving postoperative stability , range of motion , and long-term success rates for DDH patients undergoing surgery .:
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate if a 3-dimensional fabricated nasal mesh works to close nasal septal perforations. Under general anesthesia, during nasal septal perforation repair surgery, the investigator will place the mesh between the elevated mucoperichondrial flaps opposite the site of the perforation and confirm its original position at both sides under nasal endoscope. Endoscopic examination for septal mucosa status will be done monthly for a three months follow up period.
Our aim in this cross-sectional study is to determine the frequency and aspects of gallbladder dysfunction and the related risk factors in pre-ESRD and hemodialysis patients.
This study intends to evaluate physicians' fundamental knowledge and attitude regarding the management of TDIs in Egypt. A convenience sample of physicians will be enrolled in this cross-sectional study, and they will be asked to complete a validated questionnaire. The questionnaire includes demographic questions, two case scenarios involving crown fractures and the avulsion of permanent teeth, and self-evaluation questions.
Determine the relation of of Children's dental anxiety to Parental Dental anxiety, child's age and gender and caries experience will be obtained through written questionnaires (ACDAS) and (CDAS) to the child and parents of children aged 6-8 years old in the clinic.
Introduction Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of sensory, motor, and postural disorders caused by non-progressive brain injury in early development. It can manifest in various forms, including hemiplegia, which affects about 21% to 40% of CP cases. Upper extremity (UE) impairments in CP individuals are significant, impacting daily activities and quality of life. Objective This study aims to investigate the effects of pulley system exercises on improving upper limb function in children with hemiplegic CP. Methods Design: Randomized controlled double-blinded trial. Participants: 32 children aged 3-7 years with hemiplegic CP, divided into intervention and control groups. Intervention: The intervention group receives pulley system exercises plus standard care, while the control group receives standard physical therapy. Duration: Conducted between June 2024 and August 2024. Inclusion Criteria: Diagnosed with hemiplegic CP, aged 3-7 years, able to follow instructions, and with upper limb motor deficits. Exclusion Criteria: Additional neurological disorders, recent upper limb surgery, previous rehabilitation programs, severe medical conditions, or contraindications to physical activity. Assessment Tools: Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA), Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOT-2), Quality Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST), and Lafayette Manual Muscle Tester. Timing: Baseline and after 3 months of intervention. Treatment Intervention Group: 45-60 minute sessions, three times a week, involving warm-up, pulley system exercises, and cool-down. Control Group: Standard care physical therapy, twice a week, 45-60 minute sessions. Statistical Analysis Methods: Descriptive statistics and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) to analyze improvements in upper limb function. Significance Level: p < 0.05. Analysis: Intention-to-treat to handle missing data. This study aims to provide evidence on the effectiveness of pulley system exercises in enhancing upper limb function in children with hemiplegic CP, potentially improving their independence and quality of life.
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of analgesia achieved by external oblique intercostal plane block (EOIPB)and thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) for postoperative pain management in patients undergoing open thoracotomy.
