This study looks at using a specific guide (the Alfonso nomogram) to place small plastic rings inside the cornea of people with keratoconus, a condition that causes the cornea to thin and bulge. The goal is to see if this approach improves vision and eye shape. The study involves…

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

This study tests whether giving a sedative called dexmedetomidine during liver transplant surgery can protect the new liver and other organs from damage. Researchers will measure a substance in the blood that shows how well the blood vessel lining is protected. The study involves…

This study looks at a minimally invasive procedure called atherectomy that removes plaque from blocked leg arteries. It involves 60 people with severe limb-threatening ischemia, a condition where blood flow is so poor that pain or sores occur. The goal is to see if this procedure…

This study compares two breathing treatments—high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) and noninvasive ventilation (NIV)—for people with COPD who have just had a breathing tube removed. The goal is to see which method better prevents the need for another breathing tube within 72 hours. Abou…

This study compares two surgical techniques for treating various Achilles tendon disorders, such as chronic tears and tendinopathy. Thirty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either an endoscopic (keyhole) or open surgery to transfer a nearby tendon. The goal is to …

This study looks at whether starting to walk soon after a type of knee surgery (open wedge high tibial osteotomy) helps reduce pain, improve function, and get people back to normal activities faster. About 72 people with knee arthritis will be followed. The goal is to see if earl…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks (PECS II-PIFB vs. SAPB) to see which provides better pain relief after modified radical mastectomy. About 70 women aged 18-65 will receive one of the blocks, and researchers will measure how much extra pain medicine they need in the f…

This study compares two methods of removing the outer layer of the eye during laser vision correction (PRK) in 100 people aged 18-40 with mild to moderate nearsightedness. One method uses a laser to remove the layer, while the other uses a manual tool. The goal is to see which ap…

This study compares two surgical incision shapes (U-shaped vs T-shaped) used during hip capsule repair in children aged 1 to 4 years with developmental dysplasia of the hip. The goal is to see which method leads to shorter surgery time and better hip function after recovery. Fift…

This study tests whether a special exercise program focusing on hip muscles works better than standard physical therapy for adults aged 30-55 with inner knee pain and mild knee arthritis. About 80 participants will do either standard rehab or targeted exercises for 6 weeks, with …

This study compares two surgical methods for removing non-cancerous parotid gland tumors: a newer, minimally invasive endoscopic technique and the standard open surgery. Researchers will evaluate safety, facial nerve function, complications, and cosmetic results in 46 adult patie…

This study tests whether cutting certain nerves in the wrist during surgery for a severe, shattered wrist fracture can lower the chance of long-term pain. About 56 adults with this type of fracture will have the nerve procedure added to their standard surgery. The goal is to see …

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 follows 1,423 adults with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) for up to two years to see how the disease progresses naturally. Researchers will track events like flare-ups, hospital stays, and deaths, and test new ways to measure disease activity. No treatments are giv…

This study looks at sleep quality in 60 adults with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, a chronic lung condition. Researchers will measure how often patients have poor sleep and see if it's linked to their lung function, symptoms, and CT scan findings. The goal is to better under…

This study follows 50 people of any age who had a procedure to open a narrowed pulmonary valve. Researchers want to see how often the right side of the heart struggles afterward and what factors might predict that. They will track changes in heart function over time using ultraso…

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 …
