This study tested a mix of treatments—biofeedback, exercises, diet changes, and mild electrical stimulation—to help children with spina bifida control their bladder. 66 teenagers took part and were split into two groups. The goal was to see if the combination approach worked bett…

This study tested whether adding vitamins A and C to a blood-based gel (platelet-rich fibrin) helps heal deep gum bone defects better than the gel alone. 28 adults with advanced gum disease received a special surgical procedure. The main goal was to see if the vitamin combo impro…

This study tested whether a gel made from chitosan (a natural substance) can better preserve the jawbone after a tooth is pulled, compared to letting the socket heal naturally. Twenty-six adults with at least one hopeless tooth in the back of the upper or lower jaw took part. Res…

This study tested whether adding dexmedetomidine to the standard drug mannitol can better control increased pressure inside the skull during robot-assisted prostate surgery. Sixty adults at low surgical risk took part. The main goal was to measure changes in the optic nerve sheat…

This study tested whether giving tranexamic acid (a drug that helps blood clot) during weight-loss surgery reduces bleeding. 132 adults having sleeve gastrectomy were included. Results showed that the drug significantly lowered blood loss during and after surgery, without raising…

This study tested two different tooth-colored filling materials for cavities on the front teeth near the gums. Fifty adults received either a newer alkasite-based filling or a standard glass ionomer filling. Dentists checked the fillings right away, at 6 months, and at 1 year to …

This study tested whether adding a custom-made stabilizing tray improves the accuracy of a device that scans how teeth fit together when biting. Researchers compared scans taken with and without the tray in 11 healthy young adults with all their natural teeth. The goal was to see…

This study looked at whether using a special glass powder spray before putting on a tooth sealant helps prevent cavities and keeps the sealant on teeth longer. Researchers tested this on 96 young adults aged 17-22. The goal is to find a better way to protect back teeth from decay…

This study tested two pain relief methods after total hip replacement: a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) versus a small dose of morphine injected into the spinal fluid. The goal was to see which method helps patients walk sooner after surgery. 70 adults aged 18-60 partic…

This study tested whether adding ultrasound or whole-body vibration to regular stretching helps children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy improve knee movement and daily function. Sixty children aged 4-6 with mild to moderate spasticity took part. Results showed both treatments hel…

This study looked at two exercise programs—moderate intensity and high-intensity interval training—to see which one improves walking, energy use, and daily movement in children with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy. Thirty children aged 3 to 5 years took part, and their walking an…

This study tested if a gentle hands-on therapy called Maitland mobilization can improve walking patterns in people with chronic low back and leg pain caused by a pinched nerve. 46 adults aged 35-45 with pain lasting over 12 weeks received either Maitland mobilization plus standar…

This study tested a home-based video program that adds sensory activities to hand exercises for children with cerebral palsy. Forty children with mild spasticity took part. The goal was to see if the sensory-enhanced program improved hand dexterity more than standard home exercis…

This study tested two types of nerve blocks to control pain right after thyroid surgery. Forty adults received either a cervical erector spinae plane block or a cervical plexus block. Researchers measured how much morphine patients needed and how long it took to ask for pain reli…

This study tested a non-invasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve through the ear to see if it could ease fatigue in people with lupus. Fifty women with lupus were split into two groups: one received the real stimulation plus exercise, and the other received a sham (fake) s…

This study looked at whether Nordic walking—walking with poles like ski poles—can help children with hemiparesis (weakness on one side) due to cerebral palsy walk more symmetrically. Forty children aged 6 to 10 took part. Researchers used video software to measure walking pattern…

This study tested two methods to control pain after breast-conserving surgery: an ultrasound-guided nerve block (ESPB) and local wound infiltration (LWI). Sixty-six adult women participated. The main goal was to see how much morphine they needed in the first 24 hours after surger…

This study tested whether adding underwater electrical stimulation to standard care helps reduce arm swelling and pain in women after breast cancer surgery. Sixty women aged 30-55 took part. Half received standard care plus the underwater treatment, and half received only standar…

This study looked at whether serial casting (applying a series of casts) can improve ankle movement and walking in children with spastic cerebral palsy who have tight calf muscles. Forty children aged 3 to 12 took part. The goal was to see if this simple, non-surgical treatment c…

This study tested whether a gel made from resveratrol (a compound found in grapes) could reduce pain after a gum graft procedure better than a hyaluronic acid gel. Thirty adults who needed a gum graft were enrolled. Pain levels were measured daily for one week using a standard pa…

This completed study from Cairo University looked at 30 Alzheimer's patients and their primary caregivers. Researchers used questionnaires to measure caregivers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices, and checked patients' oral health using a standard tooth decay index. The goal wa…

This study looked at whether measuring a fetus's kidney length can help estimate how far along a pregnancy is. Researchers measured kidney length in 100 healthy pregnant women between 24 and 40 weeks and compared it to standard measurements like head size. The goal was to see if …

This completed study from Cairo University looked at 68 adults with chronic jaw pain and forward head posture. Researchers measured head angle and jaw function to see if they were related. No treatment was given—the goal was simply to understand the connection.

This study looked at whether using a lower radiation dose in dental CT scans still allows doctors to clearly see the mandibular canal, a key nerve in the jaw. Researchers compared standard-dose scans with reduced-dose scans in 20 adults with healthy jaws. The goal was to see if l…

This study explored whether the level of TSH (a thyroid hormone) in a woman's blood affects the success of ICSI, a type of fertility treatment. Researchers observed 180 women undergoing ICSI to see if TSH levels were linked to key outcomes like number of eggs retrieved, fertiliza…

This study compared shoulder muscle strength and endurance between 60 adults with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) and healthy volunteers. Researchers used a special machine to measure peak torque and fatigue index of shoulder muscles. The goal was to understand how frozen s…

This study looked at 130 older women to understand how the strength of their hip and knee muscles relates to their balance. Researchers measured muscle strength and balance scores to find which muscles are most important for staying steady. The goal is to help design better fall-…

This study looked at whether people with long-term neck pain have a harder time sensing the position of their lower back. Researchers measured back position sense using an iPhone app in 67 adults with chronic neck pain. The goal was to understand the connection between neck pain …

This study looked at why people with kidney failure in Cairo government hospitals don't take part in exercise-based rehabilitation. Researchers surveyed 158 patients to find out what gets in the way. The goal is to understand these barriers so that future programs can help more p…
