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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06835387RecruitingPhase 2
Combination Chemotherapy for Advanced Small Bowel Cancer
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs (NALIRIFOX) for people with advanced small bowel adenocarcinoma that cannot be surgically removed. It is for those who have not yet had treatment for their advanced cancer, except possibly one cycle of FOLFOX.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT07325344Recruiting
Magnetically guided camera pill for small bowel exam
This trial tests a new way to move a camera pill through your small intestine using magnets. It is designed for people who already need a small bowel exam, and looks at how well the magnetic control works.
Jinan, ShandongAges Any age - NCT06374368Recruiting
Small bowel diversion surgery for obesity
This trial tests a surgery called small bowel diversion to help people with obesity lose weight. It may also improve blood sugar control for those with type 2 diabetes.
OstravaAges 18–65 - NCT06722534Recruiting
Celecoxib to prevent polyps from growing in Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome
This trial is testing if the medication celecoxib can stop or slow the growth of polyps in people with Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS). It may help reduce the need for surgery and lower the risk of complications.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 8 years+ - NCT06882993Recruiting
Testing a gentler approach to diagnose Crohn's disease
This trial tests a new, gentler way to diagnose Crohn's disease. If you have symptoms like long-lasting diarrhea or belly pain, this study may help find out if you have Crohn's without invasive procedures.
EsbjergAges 18–40 - NCT07111715Recruiting
AI vs. standard reading for suspected Crohn disease
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) system can help doctors find signs of Crohn's disease better than standard reading of capsule endoscopy images. It is for people who have symptoms that might be Crohn's but whose colonoscopy didn't clearly show the problem.
BresciaAges 18–75 - NCT05633706Recruiting
Testing a capsule to study gut bacteria in the small intestine
This study tests the SIMBA capsule to learn how gut bacteria (dysbiosis) relate to digestive conditions. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and how the capsule can be used safely.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for small bowel obstruction?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 21 recruiting small bowel obstruction 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 small bowel obstruction 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 small bowel obstruction 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.
