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.
Background: With regard to patients with thoracic outlet syndrome (GBS), it is important to improve inspiratory muscle strength and endurance, and pain perception in patients with TOS, so that patients are able to regain pulmonary function and endurance. Objective: To investigate the impact of osteopathic interventions on respiratory parameters and pain levels in individuals diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). Subjects and methods: forty adults after the onset of TOS will be assigned randomly into two equal groups. In Group A will be allocated to traditional physical therapy program, three sessions/week in addition to 60-minute sessions of Osteopathic technique, one session/week for 3 months, group B will receive traditional physical therapy program, three sessions/week for 3 months. Selected respiratory parameters by spirometer, maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) and a visual analogue scale of pain severity, measured at baseline and after 3 months.
Background: The impact of stroke at the time of diagnosis is on the attention and executive functions, which may be impaired at various post-stroke intervals. Objective: To improve Cognitive Function in Elderly Stroke Patients through Task Oriented Training. Subjects and methods: Forty Elderly stroke patients from both sexes assigned randomly into two equal groups. In Group A were allocated to task oriented training in addition to traditional physical therapy program, group B received traditional physical therapy program, three sessions/week for 3 months. Cognitive Function assessed by Reha-com device, Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination Revised (ACE-R) test and Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA), measured at baseline and after 3 months.
the goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate laser biostimulation effect on osseointegration of implant covered by PRF(platelet rich fibrin) in controlled diabetic patients with compromised healing potential. METHODS: The study was conducted on type 2 controlled diabetic patients receiving 22 implants covered with PRF inserted in posterior maxilla or mandible. Implants were divided randomly into 2 groups. Group1: control group (received no laser irradiation), group2: received diode laser. Peri-implant new bone density and secondary stability were assessed using cone-beam computed tomography and Anycheck device respectively. Density was evaluated immediately post implant insertion and after 5 months, while implant stability was performed 5 months post implant insertion. Statistical analysis was executed significance level P ≤ 0.05.
It remains unclear whether CPAP therapy should be prescribed if significant hypoxemia persists during CPAP titration, despite optimization of upper airway obstructive events, if maximum CPAP pressure is reached. The goal was to examine the effects of 6 months of home AVAPS therapy in patients with obesity hypoventilation syndrome as a potential option for patients who failed CPAP titration due to persistent hypoxemia.
Purpose To describe a novel technique of MH repair and compare it to the perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) assisted temporal ILM flap technique. Methods Twenty-two eyes of 22 patients with MH were randomized on 1:1 basis into two groups. Group A cases were treated using the (Flip and Fix) technique in which the single-layer ILM flap was (flipped), flattened over the macula using PFCL and (fixed) in place using 2 drops of autologous non-heparinized blood over the superonasal and the inferonasal edges of the flap (away from the MH center). Group B patients had the classic temporal ILM flap technique without using the PFCL or autologous blood. All patients were followed up for a period of 6 months after the surgery. Results No significant difference was observed in initial and final visual acuities between Groups A and B. Intraoperative flap displacement and did not occur in Group A and occurred in 2 eyes in Group B (18.2%) one of them showed failed MH closure and required reoperation, These 2 cases had a final (W shape) MH closure and a worse final vision than the remaining cases which had either (U shape) or (V shape) final MH closure. Conclusions The study results show that the (Flip and Fix) technique is as effective as the PFCL-assisted temporal ILM flap technique and is associated with less ILM flap displacement risk for the repair of macular holes.
The goal of our thesis is to design, develop and characterize a novel thermodynamically stable NE by spontaneous method intended for topical use. Subsequently, appraisal of nanoemulsified sesame oil formulation has been performed on the post-operative symptoms in CRS patients who have undergone ESS (endoscopic sinus surgery) combined with different types of nasal irrigation which may affect formulation efficacy.
The goal of this interventional randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the use of platelet rich fibrin in full pulpotomy in mature adult teeth. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the use of platelet rich fibrin in complete pulpotomy in mature permanent teeth will raise the success rate of full pulpotomy of adult teeth? 2. Does the use of cone beam computed tomography scans will be more effective in early detection of apical periodontitis than periapical radiographs? Participants will be asked to do the following: - Receive the pulpotomy treatment of their target tooth. - Record the pain score in the pain assessment chart. - Attend the follow-up visits. They'll receive a full pulpotomy treatment of their target tooth. Researchers will evaluate the usage of platelet rich fibrin in performing the pulpotomy procedure of adult teeth and if cone beam computed tomography scans will be more effective in early detection of apical periodontitis than periapical radiographs.
Distal tibial fracture management is difficult because of poor blood supply resulted from subcutaneous location. Therefore, the study aims to compare expert intramedullary nail (IMN) with poller screws to the distal tibial locked plate regarding operative and complications outcomes
Femur's neck injuries are frequently encountered fractures. They are usually due to high energy or low energy indirect trauma. Healing of these fractures is usually hindered due to "avascular necrosis (AVN)" or "non-union" of the Femur's head. This study looks forward to investigating the impact of capsulotomy and internal fixation in lowering the incidence of complications and improving the functional outcomes.
