About this study
Official title: Neurological Manifestations in Children Diagnosed With Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Assiut University Child Hospital
screen for neurologic and psychiatric disorders in children and
adolescents with IBD.
Read the detailed description
Neurologic symptoms have a great importance in early diagnosis and
treatment preventing major morbidity and later sequelae, especially if they
precede GI symptoms
The prevalence of neurologic manifestations of IBD varies between 0.2% and
36%. Their pathogenesis of neurologic manifestations in IBD consists of 6
mechanisms: 1.malabsorption and nutritional deficiency 2.metabolic agents
3.infections complicating immune suppression 4.side effects of medications or
iatrogenic as a surgical complication 5.thromboembolism 6.immunological
factors
UC patients are similar to or higher than CD patients in the probability of
neurologic symptoms. Neurologic manifestations and complications include:
headache, dizziness, hypotonia, ADHD, tics, sensory complaints, seizures,
neuropsychiatric disorders, peripherial neuropathy, meningitis, vestibular
dysfunction, idiopathic IC hypertension, cerebral vasculitis, demyelinating
disorders and migraine
- Conditions
- IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease)
- Keywords
- Extraintestinal manifestations, Inflammatory bowel disease, Ibd
- Medical subject headings
- Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease), run by Bishoy Shehata Fahim.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Nov 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Bishoy Shehata Faheem, Resident doctor (+201551312246, bishoyshehata116@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Screening for Neurological manifestations among children diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease in Assiut university children hospital (time frame: during the period from January 2026 to January 2027.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07247994, which also lists 8 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Nov 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
