New way to diagnose appendicitis in children with belly pain
This study looks at a new way for general practitioners (GPs) to diagnose appendicitis in children with belly pain. It aims to find out if a special checklist or test can help GPs decide which children need to go to the hospital, potentially saving unnecessary trips.

Using PGE-M to predict appendicitis in children
This trial checks if a substance called PGE-M found in urine can help predict acute appendicitis in children with belly pain. If it works, it could help doctors diagnose appendicitis faster and without needing a blood test or CT scan.
SplitAges 5–17 - NCT03234296Enrolling by invitation
Antibiotics versus placebo for uncomplicated appendicitis
This trial tests whether taking antibiotics alone can treat acute uncomplicated appendicitis, compared with a placebo. If antibiotics work, it may help some people avoid surgery or reduce treatment intensity.

Outpatient care after emergency appendix removal surgery
This trial tests whether patients with a specific type of appendix infection (gangrenous appendicitis) can safely recover at home instead of staying in the hospital after surgery. The goal is to see if home-based care with close follow-up visits works as well as traditional hospital stays.
Seville, SevillaAges 14 years+ - NCT03643718Recruiting
Emergency surgery and trauma patient registry online
This trial is a web-based registry that collects information about people who need emergency surgical or non-surgical treatment for sudden (acute) problems. Your information can help doctors better understand and improve emergency care and decision-making.

Testing the best antibiotic length after laparoscopic appendix surgery
This study compares whether you need antibiotics after laparoscopic surgery for a complicated, “localized” appendix infection. It aims to find the safest, most effective antibiotic approach after surgery.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT07496723Recruiting
Comparing diagnostic methods for appendicitis surgery
This trial looks at whether different ways of diagnosing appendicitis (like CT scans) are accurate. It's for people who already had surgery to remove their appendix and want to help doctors learn more.
