This trial tests a new device called Supernova that removes blood clots from large brain arteries in people having a stroke. The goal is to restore blood flow within 24 hours of symptoms starting. The study will include 3,000 participants and measure how well the device works and…

This trial tests whether XPhe Piccos, a slow-release protein substitute in tiny tablets without phenylalanine, is acceptable and well-tolerated in children aged 3 and older with phenylketonuria (PKU) or hyperphenylalaninemia. Participants replace some or all of their usual protei…

Researchers at Assiut University Children Hospital are tracking 88 children with encephalitis to see which clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings at admission relate to early neurological outcomes. The study measures functional status at discharge using a standard scale, alon…

Researchers at Assiut University Children Hospital are studying whether abnormal brain-wave patterns on an EEG can predict how well children with encephalopathy recover. The study follows 147 children aged 1 month to 18 years who have altered consciousness from encephalopathy. Ea…

This study will follow 30 adults who have had a stroke and have arm weakness. Researchers will use functional MRI scans at several time points over six months to see how the brain reorganizes itself. The goal is to link different patterns of brain activity to different levels of …

This observational study will follow 630 people with cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and intracranial aneurysms to learn how these conditions progress and how different treatments perform. Researchers will track imaging success rates and complications over time. The g…

This study gives people with persistent post-traumatic headache a hormone called amylin (or a placebo) to see if it triggers migraine-like headaches. The goal is to understand why headaches continue after a mild brain injury. Only 21 adults will take part, and the results may hel…

This study looks at whether pramlintide, a drug similar to the hormone amylin, can cause migraine attacks in people who get migraines without aura. Researchers will give 21 participants either pramlintide or a placebo and watch for headaches over 12 hours. The goal is to understa…

This study tests whether a camera can record useful video of the brain during neurosurgery to help surgeons tell healthy tissue from diseased tissue. Researchers will record 50 adult patients undergoing brain surgery for tumors, epilepsy, or other conditions. The goal is to see i…
