Tunceli, City CenterAges 18–90 - NCT06737887Recruiting
Stoma simulation before surgery for anxiety and adaptation
This study tests whether a simulation of having a stoma before surgery can help reduce anxiety and make it easier to adapt afterward. It is for adults having planned stoma surgery who can communicate in Turkish.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT06914804Enrolling by invitation
Stomasense: New leak detection for ileostomy pouches
This trial tests a new device called Stomasense that aims to detect and manage leaks from an ileostomy pouch earlier. It's for people who have had their ileostomy for at least 18 months and experience frequent leaks (more than once a week).
Coleraine, Co. DerryAges 18 years+ - NCT07616830Recruiting
Recovery Outcomes After Temporary Midline Stoma Surgery
This study tracks how well patients recover after temporary stoma surgery (a surgically created opening for waste drainage) placed through a midline incision. Researchers want to understand healing, complication rates, and quality of life to improve surgical outcomes.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT05853094Recruiting
Testing different ways to create a stoma after rectal cancer surgery
This trial looks at how different stoma (opening in the belly) approaches affect recovery after curative rectal cancer surgery. It may help doctors choose the safest, most comfortable option for bowel function and healing after surgery.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT06310070Recruiting
3D printed custom ostomy pouch to reduce leaks
This trial tests whether a 3D-printed, custom-fit ostomy appliance can help people who have frequent leaks. If you have had an ostomy for at least 6 weeks and have had more than one leak in the past week, this study may offer a personalized solution.
Roanoke, VirginiaAges 18–100 - NCT06739174Recruiting
Study of new colostomy bags with improved filter
This trial tests a new type of colostomy bag that has a special filter system to reduce problems like ballooning, odor, and leakage. If you use a flat, closed bag and have at least one filter-related issue a week, this study might help find a better option for you.
Birmingham, EnglandAges 18 years+ - NCT06583577Recruiting
Ostomy simulation education for urologic surgery patients
This study tests a hands-on simulation to help you learn about living with an ostomy before your surgery. It aims to make you more confident and prepared for your recovery.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07460323Recruiting
Study of TRE Seals after ostomy surgery
This trial tests a barrier seal (TRE Seal) for people who have had a colostomy, ileostomy, or urostomy. It looks at how well the seal works when applied right after surgery in the UK.
Stockton-on-Tees, County DurhamAges 18–85 - NCT04282473Recruiting
Mesh or no mesh after a colostomy hernia
This study looks at how often a hernia happens 5 years after a terminal colostomy. It compares using a mesh patch to reinforce the area versus not using mesh, to see which approach may work better.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT06902116Recruiting
Bowel preparation for colostomy reversal in children
This study compares two approaches for preparing the bowel before reversing a colostomy (closing the opening in the belly) in children. The goal is to see if using a bowel-cleansing regimen for three days leads to fewer complications than skipping prep entirely.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 1–15 - NCT07206836Recruiting
Enhanced recovery after colostomy reversal in children
This trial compares two ways to care for children after colostomy reversal surgery: standard care or an enhanced recovery program designed to speed up healing.
Faisalābad, Punjab ProvinceAges 2–13 - NCT07559578Recruiting
Colostomy Care Training for Nursing Students
This study tests a teaching method called simulation theory to help nursing students learn colostomy care (managing a surgically created opening for waste). The goal is to see if this hands-on training approach helps students feel more confident and prepared.
Kars, CentralAges 18 years+ - NCT06905925Recruiting
Training program for people with a permanent colostomy
This trial tests whether a training program can help people who have a permanent colostomy feel more confident in managing their daily care. If you are scheduled for a permanent colostomy, can speak Turkish, and have a phone, this study may be a good fit.
