This study tests whether giving the drug dexmedetomidine during liver transplant surgery can protect the liver and other organs from damage. The trial involves 60 adults aged 18-60 with a specific liver disease severity score. The goal is to see if the drug reduces complications …

This study tests a minimally invasive procedure called atherectomy to remove plaque from blocked leg arteries in 60 people with severe peripheral artery disease. The goal is to see if this approach can restore blood flow better than standard balloon angioplasty. Participants must…

This study compares two types of breathing support—high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) and noninvasive ventilation (NIV)—in 150 adults with COPD who have just had a breathing tube removed. The goal is to see which method better prevents the need for re-inserting the tube within 72 hou…

This study tests a new guide (the Alfonso nomogram) for placing tiny plastic rings inside the cornea to flatten the cone-shaped bulge caused by keratoconus. The goal is to improve vision and eye shape in 25 adults aged 18-35 with moderate progressive keratoconus. The rings are no…

This study compares a standard physical therapy program with a specialized exercise program for adults aged 30-55 who have knee pain and mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis. The goal is to see if exercises focusing on hip and leg muscles can better reduce pain and improve knee f…

This study compares two ways to do laser eye surgery (PRK) for nearsightedness. One method uses a laser to remove the eye's surface layer, while the other uses a manual tool. The goal is to see which approach leads to clearer vision and faster healing. About 100 people aged 18-40…

This study looks at two different ways surgeons cut and sew the hip capsule during surgery for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in children aged 1 to 4. The goal is to see which method—U-shaped or T-shaped—leads to better hip function and recovery. Fifty children will tak…

This study compares two non-invasive breathing support methods—high-flow nasal cannula and non-invasive ventilation—for people with acute respiratory failure caused by a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs). The goal is to see which method helps patients breathe on their …

This study looks at two different nerve blocks to control pain after breast removal surgery (modified radical mastectomy). About 70 women aged 18 to 65 will receive one of the two blocks. The goal is to see which block reduces the need for extra pain medicine and leads to fewer s…

This study looks at whether cutting specific nerves in the wrist during surgery for a severe, shattered wrist bone can lower the chance of long-term pain. About 56 adults with these complex fractures will have the extra nerve procedure. The goal is to improve pain and function, m…

This study tests whether adding a blood flow restriction (BFR) band to targeted exercises helps adults with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis and bow-legged alignment feel less pain and move better. About 80 adults aged 30-55 will be randomly assigned to do exercises alone or …

This study looks at sleep quality in 60 adults with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, a chronic lung condition causing cough and infections. Researchers will measure how many have poor sleep and see if it relates to their breathing tests, symptoms, and CT scans. The goal is to …

This study looks at knee injuries in children under 18 admitted to Assiut University Hospitals between 2022 and 2025. Researchers will collect information on injury types and patterns to create a secure database. The goal is to better understand these injuries and support future …

This study follows 1,423 adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) for up to two years to learn how the disease naturally progresses. Researchers will track events like sudden worsening, hospital stays, and deaths. The goal is to better understand IPF patterns, not to test …

This study watches 50 people who had a balloon procedure to open a narrowed pulmonary valve. It checks how often the right side of the heart struggles afterward and looks for clues, like age or leftover pressure, that might predict problems. The goal is to learn, not to test a ne…
