This study tests whether a standard set of emergency steps—like quick blood tests, fluids, and antibiotics—can improve survival for adults with sepsis or septic shock. About 120 patients will be compared: some treated before the new protocol and some after. The goal is to get lif…

This study looks at whether a new material called graphene oxide can help treat infected baby teeth better than current methods. About 126 children will be split into groups to receive either graphene oxide, standard materials (like MTA or zinc oxide), or another technique. The g…

This study tests whether natural substances like grape seed extract and glycyrrhizin can replace antibiotics in a procedure to revive dead permanent teeth in children aged 7-13. The goal is to restore blood flow and promote root growth while reducing pain and infection. The trial…

This study tests a new surgery for people whose shoulders keep dislocating. The surgeon uses a piece of the patient's own tendon to build up the shallow part of the shoulder socket. The goal is to make the joint more stable and prevent future dislocations. The study will include …

This study looks at three different materials used to treat deep cavities in children's baby molars. It involves 66 kids aged 4-8 who need a pulpotomy, a procedure that removes infected nerve tissue. The goal is to see which material—hyaluronic acid, TheraCal, or MTA—works best o…

This study compares two dental appliances—Quad Helix and Rapid Maxillary Expander—to treat posterior cross-bite in 20 Egyptian children aged 9-12. The goal is to see which device widens the upper jaw more comfortably and effectively. Results will help dentists choose the best opt…

This study will test four different filling materials in 92 children aged 4-8 who have cavities in their baby molars. The goal is to see which filling lasts longest and causes the least discomfort. Children will be randomly assigned to one of the four materials, and their filling…

This study checks if an artificial intelligence (AI) system can analyze dental X-rays as accurately as the standard manual method. About 55 people with crooked teeth or jaw issues will have their X-rays read by both AI and a human expert. The goal is to see if AI can be a reliabl…

This study looks at whether teaching people with long-term neck pain how to sleep better, along with doing special neck exercises, can improve their sleep and reduce pain and disability. About 120 adults aged 20-55 with poor sleep and neck pain for over 3 months will take part. T…

This study compares two types of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks to control pain after open inguinal hernia repair in adults. The goal is to see which method reduces the need for opioid painkillers in the first 24 hours after surgery. Sixty-six adults aged 18 to 75 will be randoml…

This study looks at whether adding a daily physical activity plan to a structured exercise program can reduce disability and improve mental health in older adults with chronic low back pain. 100 people aged 60 and older will be split into three groups: exercise plus activity, exe…

This study tests whether a newer, step-by-step spinal injection method (sequential) causes fewer blood pressure drops than the standard single-shot method during planned C-sections. About 94 women having elective cesarean deliveries will be randomly assigned to one of the two tec…

This study looks at whether doing Pilates and resistance training can reduce pain, improve daily function, and help people with chronic low back pain sleep better. About 110 adults with long-term back pain and poor sleep will be split into three groups: one doing both Pilates and…

This study tests whether adding dexamethasone, dexmedetomidine, or both to a standard nerve block can reduce the intense pain that often occurs when the block wears off after upper limb surgery. About 75 adults aged 20-65 will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. The goal…

This study looks at whether injecting a small amount of saline or numbing medicine through the epidural needle before placing the catheter can make the procedure more successful on the first try. It involves 216 women in active labour who request pain relief. The goal is to reduc…

This study looks at whether adding pain neuroscience education (teaching people how pain works) to standard back exercises can improve disability and reduce fear of movement in adults with chronic low back pain. About 40 participants in the Gaza Strip will be split into two group…

This study tests three different doses of a drug called dexmedetomidine, given with spinal anesthesia, to see if it can prevent shivering after surgery. 120 adults having kidney stone removal will be randomly assigned to receive one of the three doses or a placebo. The goal is to…

This study looks at how a small surgical procedure called corticision affects the body's response when pushing lower front teeth inward during orthodontic treatment. Researchers will measure certain chemicals in the gum fluid and track how much the teeth move. The study involves …

This study looks at whether a quick, painless ultrasound of the eye can predict if a woman will get a headache after spinal anesthesia for a C-section. Researchers will measure a small change in the nerve sheath behind the eye before and after the spinal block. 150 women having p…

This study tests whether applying a Vitamin D gel (calcitriol) to one side of the upper jaw can speed up the movement of a canine tooth during orthodontic treatment. Twenty-two people aged 13 to 35 who need premolar extractions will participate. The gel is applied only on one sid…
