Recruiting studies
- NCT05878015Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
IV acetaminophen for small bowel blockage symptoms
This Phase 4 study tests whether giving acetaminophen through a vein helps people with a small bowel obstruction (a blockage in the intestines) that is causing abdominal pain. It’s looking for a benefit in pain control and how people do during treatment.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03905239Recruiting
Procalcitonin test to guide treatment for bowel blockage
This trial studies an approach that uses a blood test called procalcitonin to help doctors choose the best treatment for an acute small-bowel blockage caused by scar tissue (adhesions). It may help avoid unnecessary procedures and speed the right care when doctors are deciding what to do next.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06347120Recruiting
Nasogastric tube for bowel obstruction
This trial compares the effectiveness of placing a nasogastric tube versus not placing one for treating small bowel obstructions caused by adhesions. It aims to see if the tube is really needed for patients who do not have complications.
AmiensAges 18–85 - NCT07084441RecruitingPhase 4
Steroid treatment for bowel blockage management
This trial studies whether a steroid medicine (dexamethasone) helps people with a bowel blockage get better faster and avoid surgery. If you have a blockage from scar tissue and are being watched in the hospital, this could be an option.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06182319RecruitingPhase 3
Optimizing treatment for adhesive small bowel obstruction
This study tests the best way to treat a small bowel blockage caused by scar tissue (adhesions). It compares different care approaches to help you recover faster and avoid repeat blockages.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07574515Recruiting
Nasogastric Tube for Small Bowel Blockages
This trial tests whether placing a thin feeding tube through the nose into the stomach helps reduce complications in patients with small bowel obstruction (a blockage in the small intestines). Researchers want to see if this tube improves outcomes and reduces symptoms like nausea and vomiting.
LinköpingAges 18 years+ - NCT06065150Recruiting
Early surgery vs 3-day waiting for bowel blockage
This trial compares two approaches for a sudden blockage in the small intestine caused by scar tissue: having surgery right away versus waiting up to three days with non-surgical care. It aims to see which approach leads to better outcomes, so you and your doctor can make a more informed choice.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06817551Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Comparing treatments for bowel obstruction
This trial compares different ways to manage a bowel blockage caused by scar tissue (adhesions) that doesn't need emergency surgery. It aims to find the best approach to help you recover without surgery.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT06803628Recruiting
Ultrasound to rule out bowel blockage in ER
This study tests if an ER doctor can use a bedside ultrasound to quickly rule out a bowel blockage, so you might avoid a CT scan. You'll get the ultrasound plus a CT scan to compare how well the ultrasound works.
Clermont-Ferrand, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07317076Recruiting
Magnetic device study for stomach and bowel blockages
This trial tests a new magnetic device that creates a connection between parts of your stomach or small intestine without needing stitches, for people with certain blockages or digestive issues.
Westmount, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT01793168Recruiting
Rare disease registry and history study
This study keeps a registry (a structured list) of people with rare diseases and may also track how the condition changes over time. It can help researchers better understand rare illnesses and find gaps in care, which may improve future treatments.
Sioux Falls, South DakotaAges Any age - NCT05678023Recruiting
Study of contrast dye in certain bowel blockage cases
This trial studies whether using contrast dye (a special substance seen on scans) helps in treating people with a specific type of small-bowel blockage. It may help doctors make better decisions without needing emergency surgery.
Tartu, TartuAges 18 years+ - NCT04840264RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy for stomach cancer with blocked intestines
This Phase 2 trial tests a chemotherapy combination (docetaxel, oxaliplatin, and 5-FU) in people with stomach or gastroesophageal cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen and is causing an inoperable bowel blockage. It aims to shrink or control the blockage and cancer when surgery cannot be done.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06787014Recruiting
Surgery vs. no surgery for small intestinal NET with spread
This study looks at whether removing the main tumor in the small intestine (along with standard treatment) helps people with small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors that have spread and cannot be cured. It compares this approach to treatment without surgery.
BernAges Any age - NCT06928545Recruiting
MagDI procedure registry for weight loss
This registry tracks people who have a MagDI procedure, a type of weight-loss surgery that connects parts of the intestine. It helps doctors learn how well the procedure works over time.
Ventura, CaliforniaAges 22 years+ - NCT06446440Recruiting
Keyhole surgery for scar tissue blocking the intestine
This study tests a keyhole surgery (laparoscopy) to cut away scar tissue (adhesiolysis) that is blocking the intestine. It is for people whose blockage is caused by scar tissue and who have not gotten better with non-surgical care.
AsyutAges 18 years+ - NCT07705139Recruiting
Listening to bowel sounds after colorectal surgery
This study listens to your bowel sounds after colorectal cancer surgery to see if they can help doctors know when your gut is working again. You will have a small device placed on your belly to record sounds for a few days.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–90 - NCT04506593Recruiting
GI Motility diagnosis registry for people with digestion movement problems
This trial is a registry, meaning it collects information about people being evaluated for problems with how the gut moves. It may help doctors better diagnose gastrointestinal motility disorders in the future.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges Any age - NCT04014413Recruiting
Fecal transplant for gut and immune-related conditions
This trial studies whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)—a medical procedure using stool from a screened donor to restore gut bacteria—can improve safety and outcomes for people with certain bowel, immune, and metabolic conditions. It may help if your symptoms are thought to be related to an unhealthy gut microbiome, though eligibility is broad and depends on specific safety factors.
Hong Kong, ShatinAges Any age - NCT07261826Recruiting
Long-term effects of fecal microbiota transplant
This study looks at how well fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) works over time and checks its safety. If you have received at least one FMT for a qualifying condition, you may be able to participate.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 3 years+ - NCT06583395Enrolling by invitation
Meditation retreat study with fitness tracker
This trial studies people attending a 7-day meditation retreat to see how meditation affects well-being. You will wear a fitness tracker and answer surveys.
