This study looks at two common treatments for prostate cancer that hasn't spread outside the organ: surgery to remove the prostate and radiation therapy. Researchers will compare how well each method controls the cancer and prevents it from coming back. The study involves 40 adul…

This study tests a different way of taking the chemotherapy drug capecitabine for colorectal cancer. Instead of the standard daily dosing, patients take the drug for 7 days, then take a 7-day break. The goal is to see if this schedule improves quality of life while still controll…

This study tests a surgical procedure that moves two tendons in the forearm to help people with chronic ulnar nerve injury regain pinch strength. Seventeen adults aged 18 to 60 with stable hand joints and no active infections will be enrolled. After surgery, their grip strength a…

This study looks at two ways to fix bowed legs (tibia vara) in teenagers aged 10-18. Surgeons use a plate alone or a plate with a cage to straighten the bone. The goal is to see which method works better for correcting the leg shape. About 25 teens will take part, and their bone …

This study tests whether a special 3D color ultrasound can accurately detect how deeply the placenta has grown into the womb in pregnant women. Researchers will compare ultrasound images taken before delivery with what doctors see during surgery. The goal is to improve diagnosis …

This study compares two medications, dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine, when added to the standard spinal anesthetic bupivacaine for people undergoing surgery to fix a broken pelvis. The goal is to see which combination provides longer pain relief and better recovery. Sixty adult…

This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided nerve block (superficial cervical plexus block) can reduce pain after neck surgery. Sixty adults having elective neck surgery under general anesthesia will receive the block, and their pain levels and opioid use will be tracked for 24…

This study looks at how often children with Down syndrome have problems in the neck part of the spine. Researchers at Sohag University Hospital will check 50 children aged 2 to 18 for symptoms and take X-rays to find any spine issues. The goal is to better understand these proble…

This study checks blood pressure in 60 children and teens (ages 6-18) with type 1 diabetes to see how many have pre-hypertension and what factors might be involved. Researchers will measure blood pressure carefully on multiple visits. The goal is to better understand this early w…

This study looks at 120 adults on regular dialysis to see if a simple blood test called the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) can help detect peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition where arteries in the legs narrow. The goal is to find a cheap, easy way to identify patie…

This study tracks and reviews C-section rates in Sohag hospitals using the Robson classification system. About 300 pregnant women will be included to collect data on deliveries and outcomes. The goal is to understand and improve how C-sections are performed, not to test a new tre…

This study tests a new scoring system called the HON Model to predict when placing a breathing tube (intubation) might be difficult. It combines a person's height and jaw size with checks for airway blockage and neck movement. Researchers will study 350 adults having surgery to s…

This study examines how genetic factors, acquired risks, and treatment choices influence survival and recovery in people with visceral venous thrombosis (blood clots in abdominal organs). Researchers will follow 101 adult patients, collecting data and blood samples to understand …

This study looked at 20 people with phenylketonuria (PKU) to see if a 48-hour test with BH4 (a supplement) could predict who would benefit from long-term treatment. Participants took BH4 and had blood samples taken over two days. The goal was to see if a drop in phenylalanine lev…

This study looks at people with Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency (ASMD), a rare genetic disease. Researchers will track changes in spleen and liver size using ultrasound over 12 months. The goal is to better understand symptoms and find better ways to diagnose the condition.

This study looks at how often children with steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome have high calcium levels in their urine. Researchers will check 50 children aged 2 to 16 who are on steroid therapy. The goal is simply to measure how common this condition is, not to test a new trea…

This study looks back at 100 newborns who had a flexible bronchoscopy (a tiny camera placed into the airways) in the NICU over the past 10 years. The goal is to see how often this procedure helped doctors find the exact cause of breathing issues and guide treatment. It includes b…

This study will observe 100 people with traumatic hand injuries at Sohag University Hospital in Egypt from October 2025 to April 2026. The goal is to learn how these injuries happen and what the outcomes are. Participants will attend follow-up visits, and those with life-threaten…

This study looked at whether using a small camera (endoscope) during surgery helps doctors repair broken bones in the face more safely and effectively. Thirty adults with certain types of face fractures were included. The main goal was to see if this technique reduces the risk of…

This study looks at two different ways to train eye doctors (residents) on a type of cataract surgery called phacoemulsification. One group learns the surgical steps in order, while the other learns them out of order. The goal is to see which method leads to better surgical skill…
