Recruiting studies
- NCT06782594RecruitingPhase 2
Mosapride injection for bowel recovery after surgery
This trial tests an injectable medicine, mosapride citrate, to help the gut start working again after laparoscopic intestinal surgery. It may reduce bloating, pain, and time to first bowel movement.
Feixian, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT06510348Recruiting
Feeding support for ventilated patients with gut issues
This trial tests a special approach to nutrition for patients on breathing machines who have trouble digesting food. It aims to see if the new method helps meet nutritional needs better.
BucharestAges 18 years+ - NCT07133620Recruiting
Electrical acupoint stimulation for better recovery after urologic surgery
This trial tests if using mild electrical stimulation on specific acupoints (similar to acupuncture without needles) can help your stomach and bowels get back to normal faster after laparoscopic kidney or prostate surgery.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT06514170Recruiting
Stomach and bowel function after aortic surgery
This study looks at how stomach and bowel function changes after major aortic surgery. It may help doctors understand and prevent digestive problems in patients who need extended time on a ventilator after surgery.
Mexico City, TlalpanAges 18 years+ - NCT07607249Enrolling by invitation
Floating Needle Treatment for Stomach Issues After Knee Surgery
This trial tests whether a traditional Chinese acupuncture technique called 'floating needle' can help with stomach and bowel problems that sometimes happen after knee surgery under general anesthesia. You would receive this treatment along with standard post-surgery care to see if it reduces nausea, constipation, or other digestive issues.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT04565704Enrolling by invitation
Imaging checks on biopsy samples during routine scopes
This study uses special optical imaging during routine upper or lower endoscopy to look at biopsy tissue and compare what the images show with standard lab microscope results. It may help improve how doctors spot abnormal tissue during procedures.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05623722Recruiting
Nerve block to help organ function in severe gut sepsis
This trial studies whether an erector spinae plane nerve block (a pain-control injection near the spine) can improve organ health in adults with sepsis caused by acute gut injury. It’s meant for people sick enough to need ICU care for several days.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07252102Recruiting
High-flow oxygen during sedation for critical patients having GI endoscopy
This trial tests whether high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNC) reduces low oxygen levels during sedated gastrointestinal procedures. It is for patients with higher health risks (ASA grade III–IV) who need an endoscopy or treatment.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT05344417Recruiting
Low-pressure gas during colon surgery to reduce post-surgery gut slowdown
This study compares a low-pressure way of filling the abdomen with gas during certain colon surgeries. It aims to see whether this helps the bowel “wake up” faster after surgery (less postoperative ileus).
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05664113RecruitingPhase 1
Fecal transplant for gut problems after stem cell transplant
This study tests whether transplanting healthy donor stool into the gut can help children and young adults with ongoing digestive issues after a stem cell transplant. It may improve symptoms like diarrhea or the need for feeding tubes.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 22 years - NCT06740903RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing two drugs for pain control in gallbladder surgery
This study compares two medications, dexmedetomidine and lignocaine, to see which works better for pain management during and after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It may help improve comfort and recovery for people having this surgery.
Sahiwal, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–70 - NCT04566341Enrolling by invitation
Study gut problems in Parkinson’s and changes in gut nerves
This study looks at how digestive (gut) problems happen in people with Parkinson’s and whether there are related changes in the nerve tissue in the digestive tract. It may help researchers better understand the cause of these symptoms and find new ways to monitor or treat them.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–85 - NCT03865290RecruitingPhase 2
Ondansetron for stomach nerve and motion problems in diabetes
This trial tests whether ondansetron can improve stomach “sensorimotor” problems—how the gut senses food and moves it—especially in people with diabetes and troubling indigestion. It may help reduce symptoms like early fullness, nausea, and discomfort after eating.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–75 - NCT07425249Recruiting
Chewing gum after stomach or bowel surgery
This trial tests if chewing gum after open stomach or bowel surgery can help your intestines start moving again sooner. It is for people undergoing open gastrointestinal surgery who do not have certain health conditions or take specific medicines.
Peshawar, KPKAges 17–85 - NCT05989763Recruiting
Constipation study for people with systemic sclerosis
This study looks at why people with systemic sclerosis (a disease that can affect connective tissues) develop constipation. It will use special tests to measure how well the colon moves waste, and it may help doctors find better treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03953768Recruiting
Testing a new vagus nerve stimulator for gut and immune health
This study looks at what happens to your immune system and stomach/gut function after getting a vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) for the first time for epilepsy. It may help doctors understand whether the device benefits more than seizures.
Louisville, KentuckyAges birth–60 years - NCT05455359RecruitingPhase 4
Tube-fed children at high risk for aspiration pneumonia
This Phase 4 study looks at gastrointestinal movement (dysmotility) and how it may increase the risk of aspiration pneumonia in children who eat through a tube and have swallowing safety problems. It may help doctors better prevent lung infections in children who cough/choke and need suction often.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 5–21 - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for gastrointestinal dysfunction?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 18 recruiting gastrointestinal dysfunction studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a gastrointestinal dysfunction trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a gastrointestinal dysfunction trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
