This study tests a surgical procedure that moves two tendons in the forearm to help people with long-term ulnar nerve damage regain the ability to pinch. 17 adults aged 18-60 with stable joints and no other nerve injuries will be followed for 12 weeks after surgery. The goal is t…

This study looks at two ways to fix a condition called tibia vara, which causes a child's leg to bow outward. It involves 25 teenagers aged 10 to 18 who need surgery to straighten the bone. The goal is to see which method—using a plate alone or a plate with an extra cage—works be…

This study tests a new surgical method that uses a tiny camera (endoscope) to repair broken facial bones through small, hidden cuts instead of large incisions. The goal is to see if this approach works as well as standard surgery while reducing scarring and nerve damage. Thirty a…

This phase 2 trial compares a new 'dose-dense' schedule of capecitabine (one week on, one week off) against the standard regimen (two weeks on, one week off) in 100 people with colorectal cancer. The main goal is to see if the new schedule improves quality of life. The study is a…

This study looks at whether 3D color ultrasound can accurately detect how deeply the placenta has grown into the uterine wall (placenta accreta spectrum) in pregnant women. Researchers will compare ultrasound images taken before delivery with what doctors see during C-section. Th…

This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided nerve block using bupivacaine can reduce pain after neck surgery better than standard painkillers. Sixty adults aged 18 to 60 undergoing elective neck surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block or a placebo in…

This early-phase trial compares two drugs—dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine—added to standard spinal anesthesia for pelvic fracture surgery. Sixty adults will be split into two groups to see which combination provides longer pain relief and better recovery. The goal is to find a …

This study surveys 500 doctors in Egypt to see how well they understand prediabetes—a condition where blood sugar is high but not yet diabetic. Doctors answer questions about risk factors, diagnostic tests, and lifestyle recommendations. The goal is to find gaps in knowledge that…

This study looks at how the severity of depression relates to erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation in 100 married men aged 25–60 in the Sohag region of Egypt. Participants are clinically diagnosed with depression and sexually active. Researchers will use standard questi…

This study compares two methods for teaching cataract surgery to ophthalmology residents. One group learns steps in the usual order, while the other learns easier steps first. Researchers will measure how well residents perform surgery and how often complications occur. The goal …

This study looks at a new way to predict if placing a breathing tube will be difficult. It combines a person's height and jaw measurement with signs of airway blockage and neck movement. Researchers will test this on 350 adults having surgery to see if it works better than curren…

This study looks back at 40 men with early-stage prostate cancer to compare two standard treatments: open surgery to remove the prostate and radiation therapy. The goal is to see which approach better controls the tumor and prevents recurrence. The results may help guide future t…

This study tracks C-section rates in Sohag hospitals using the Robson classification system. Researchers will collect data from 300 pregnant women to understand why C-sections are performed and hold monthly meetings to discuss improvements. The goal is to reduce unnecessary C-sec…

This study looks at how genes, lifestyle factors, and treatments affect survival and recovery in people with visceral venous thrombosis (a rare blood clot in the belly organs). Researchers will follow 101 adults to understand what drives the disease and how best to manage it. The…

This study looks at symptoms and lab tests to help doctors better diagnose acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD), also known as Niemann-Pick disease, a rare genetic disorder. Researchers will track changes in spleen and liver size using ultrasound over 12 months in 7 patients. …

This study will track 100 people with traumatic hand and wrist injuries at Sohag University Hospital in Egypt from October 2025 to April 2026. Researchers want to learn how these injuries happen and what the outcomes are. It is an observational study, meaning no new treatment is …

This study aims to find out how often children with Down syndrome have neck spine problems, what symptoms they show, and what X-rays reveal. Researchers will study 50 children aged 2 to 18 at Sohag University Hospital. The goal is to better understand and detect these issues earl…

This study tests whether a 48-hour BH4 loading test can predict which people with phenylketonuria (PKU) will respond to treatment. Twenty participants receive BH4 and have their blood phenylalanine levels measured over two days. The goal is to link test results with each person's…

This study looks back at 100 newborns who had a flexible bronchoscopy (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) to diagnose breathing problems in the neonatal intensive care unit over the past 10 years. Researchers want to see how often this procedure helped doctors find the exact ca…

This study looks at how often children with steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome have high calcium levels in their urine (hypercalciuria). Researchers will check 50 children aged 2 to 16 who are on steroid treatment. The goal is simply to find out how common this condition is, no…

This study looks at 120 adults on regular hemodialysis to see if a simple blood test called the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) can help detect peripheral artery disease (PAD). PAD is a common but often overlooked complication in kidney patients. The goal is to find a cheap,…

This study looks at how often children and teenagers (ages 6-18) with type 1 diabetes have pre-hypertension, or early signs of high blood pressure. Researchers will measure blood pressure carefully and also take blood samples to check for related conditions. The goal is to unders…
