This study looks at whether baricitinib, a drug for rheumatoid arthritis, can improve blood clotting and cholesterol levels compared to standard treatments. About 100 adults with active RA will take baricitinib for 3 months. Researchers will measure changes in clotting markers an…

This study tests whether adding melatonin (a natural sleep hormone) to standard heart failure treatment can improve heart function in women with peripartum cardiomyopathy, a rare heart condition that develops during or after pregnancy. 25 women will receive either melatonin, sele…

This study tests whether adding black seed oil (Nigella sativa) to standard asthma medication can improve asthma control and lung function in children aged 6–18 with moderate persistent asthma. Ninety children will receive either a low or high dose of black seed oil capsules or a…

This phase 3 trial will test how well two different triple therapies—one using a standard acid reducer (proton pump inhibitor) and one using a newer drug (vonoprazan)—work to eliminate H. pylori infection. It will also see if adding zinc improves results. The study plans to enrol…

This study tests whether a combination of three inhaled drugs (furosemide, heparin, and hypertonic saline) can reduce lung injury in adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who are on mechanical ventilators. The trial will involve 344 participants and measure daily…

This Phase 3 trial tests whether two antioxidant supplements, N-acetyl cysteine and alpha-lipoic acid, can improve blood vessel health and reduce oxidative stress in adults with beta thalassemia. Sixty-six participants will take one of the supplements or a placebo alongside their…

This study looks at whether a simple blood test, called the fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio, can predict if someone with a traumatic brain injury will develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a serious lung condition. Researchers will measure these proteins in the blood of…

This study tests whether giving a single IV dose of lidocaine before a C-section can prevent headaches caused when doctors press on the belly to deliver the baby. About 680 women having planned C-sections under spinal anesthesia will be randomly assigned to receive lidocaine or a…

This phase 3 trial tests whether adding daily calcitonin injections to standard shingles treatment can prevent postherpetic neuralgia, a painful nerve condition that can last for months or years. Researchers will enroll 168 adults aged 50 and older who have had a shingles rash fo…

This study tests whether two existing drugs—memantine (used for Alzheimer's) and rosuvastatin (a cholesterol-lowering statin)—can prevent nerve damage caused by the chemotherapy drug oxaliplatin in people with colorectal cancer. About 46 adults will receive these drugs alongside …

This study tests whether two types of diabetes medications—SGLT2 inhibitors and DPP-4 inhibitors—can prevent heart damage caused by the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin in women with breast cancer. About 150 Egyptian women will be randomly assigned to receive one of the drugs or sta…

This study tests whether telmisartan, a blood pressure medication, can prevent heart damage caused by the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin in breast cancer patients. Researchers will enroll 36 newly diagnosed women and measure changes in heart function and injury markers. If effecti…

This study tests whether giving magnesium before surgery can reduce emergence delirium—a state of confusion and agitation—in children aged 4 to 7 after adenotonsillectomy. Half the children receive magnesium by mouth before surgery, half receive it through an IV during surgery, a…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks given before breast cancer surgery (modified radical mastectomy) to see which one helps patients recover better. Sixty women will receive either a newer block called subtransverse interligamentary plane block or the standard thoracic …

This study tests whether taking vitamin D supplements can reduce nerve pain, improve sleep, and boost quality of life in people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage. Researchers will give vitamin D to 150 adults with low vitamin D levels and track their pain and sleep over …

This study tests whether adding allopurinol, a drug usually used for gout, to the antidepressant sertraline can better relieve symptoms of major depressive disorder. Researchers will enroll 70 adults with moderate to severe depression and measure changes in their depression score…

This study tests two different drugs—dexmedetomidine and low-dose ketamine—given during weight-loss surgery to see which one reduces pain and the need for morphine afterward. Ninety adults having bariatric surgery will be randomly assigned to one of the two drugs or a placebo. Th…

This study will compare three different injections—glucocorticoid, ozone, and 5% dextrose—to see which provides the best pain relief for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will enroll 105 adults aged 18 to 65 who have not responded to conservative tr…

This study compares two surgical techniques (unilateral vs. bilateral septal extension graft) to correct a droopy nasal tip in 34 adults undergoing primary rhinoplasty. The main goal is to see which method leads to better patient satisfaction and less tip deviation. Participants …

This study looks at whether melatonin or vitamin D can help prevent heart damage in breast cancer patients receiving the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin. About 90 women will be randomly assigned to take melatonin, vitamin D, or a placebo alongside their cancer treatment. The goal i…

This study looks at whether giving Coenzyme Q10, a natural substance found in the body, along with standard antibiotics can help children hospitalized with pneumonia recover more quickly. About 120 children aged 2 months to 18 years will take part. The goal is to see if it speeds…

This study is testing whether a green dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help surgeons see and remove lymph nodes that contain cancer during laparoscopic colon cancer surgery. About 25 adults with colon cancer will receive the dye injected around the tumor and into a vein. Th…

This study will measure eye pressure in one person with mild keratoconus before and one month after corneal cross linking. The goal is to see how the treatment changes eye pressure using a special device called Corvis CT. This is an observational study, not a treatment trial.
