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+ - NCT07424586RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Better recovery for older adults with ostomy surgery
This study tests a program to help adults aged 65 and older recover well after ostomy surgery (a surgery that creates an opening on the belly for waste to leave the body). It also involves their healthcare providers.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06604052Recruiting
Comparing new stoma surgery techniques for temporary ileostomy
This trial tests a newer, less invasive stoma surgery method against the traditional approach. It aims to see if the new method works better for people who need a temporary ileostomy during colorectal cancer surgery.
Shanghai, ChinaAges 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 - 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+ - NCT07559578Recruiting
Colostomy Care Training for Nursing Students

Kars, CentralAges 18 years+ - NCT04701853Recruiting
Exercise training after permanent stoma surgery
This trial looks at a specific exercise program after planned surgery to create a permanent stoma (an opening for stool). The goal is to see whether the training helps people recover and function better after surgery.
GothenburgAges Any age - NCT05027737Recruiting
Earlier ileostomy closure after rectal cancer surgery
This study looks at whether closing a temporary ileostomy sooner is safe after rectal cancer surgery, when imaging shows no leak. It may help people avoid living with the stoma for longer, but only if specific safety checks are passed.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18–90 - NCT05321134Recruiting
Testing single-port robot surgery for colorectal conditions
This study checks how well a newer single-opening (single-port) robot works for colorectal surgery. It may help surgeons perform operations with the robotic system in carefully selected colorectal conditions.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05628701Recruiting
Testing two UC surgery reconstructions after colectomy
This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the bowel after subtotal colectomy and ileostomy in people with ulcerative colitis (UC). It may help determine which surgical option works best when the rectum is calm enough to manage with topical mesalazine alone.
GothenburgAges 18–60 - NCT05939687RecruitingPhase 3
Mesh placement to help prevent complications after bowel surgery
This Phase 3 trial tests whether placing a protective mesh during stoma closure can lower the risk of complications after low anterior resection surgery. It may help people heal more safely and reduce stoma-related problems.
MoscowAges 18–85 - NCT06194708Recruiting
Why some temporary stomas are never reversed after rectal cancer surgery
This trial looks at why some people who had a temporary stoma (a bag for waste) after rectal cancer surgery never get it reversed. It collects information from medical records to find patterns that might explain this.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT06298877Recruiting
Stoma reversal and quality of life in ovarian cancer
This study looks at how temporary stoma (a surgical opening in the belly) affects quality of life and recovery in women having surgery for ovarian cancer. It may help doctors decide when to reverse the stoma so you heal better.
Stockholm, SolnaAges 18 years+ - NCT06569966Recruiting
Bowel rehab before ileostomy closure after rectal cancer surgery
This study tests two ways of giving back the fluid from your small intestine (ileal contents) through an enema or reinfusion before your ileostomy is closed. The goal is to see which method helps your bowel movements return to normal after rectal cancer surgery.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–85 - NCT04184973Recruiting
Testing a colon bypass device during colorectal cancer surgery
This trial studies a device (CG-100) placed inside the bowel to see if it can improve safety and outcomes during surgery for colorectal cancer. You would be asked to follow extra study check-ins after your operation, and the team would monitor whether the device works as intended.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 22–70 - 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.
