Hydrocortisone for babies with bowel telescoping after air treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether giving hydrocortisone (a steroid medicine) can improve outcomes for infants with intussusception, a condition where part of the bowel slips into another part. It specifically focuses on babies treated with a non-surgical air method to push the bowel back in place.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be an infant diagnosed with intussusception (bowel telescoping)
- Have treatment aimed at fixing the intussusception using air (pneumatic reduction)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy) to fix intussusception in children when other non-surgical treatments haven't worked. It could help avoid a larger operation.
This trial tests whether adding a steroid injection to esophageal dilation helps children with narrowings that keep coming back. If you have a child with a stubborn narrowing that has already needed dilation, this treatment might help keep it open longer.
This Phase 4 trial studies the best way to give hydrocortisone (a steroid medicine) to newborns who are being cooled for a specific kind of birth-related lack of oxygen. It’s for babies who have low blood pressure during cooling, aiming to improve their stability while they receive standard treatment.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether giving stress-dose hydrocortisone can improve outcomes for children with septic shock in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It is designed for children who are already receiving strong medicines to support blood pressure because of a serious infection.
This trial tests whether adding two common medicines, hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone, to standard care can help people who are at higher risk during planned heart surgery. It aims to see if this combination can reduce serious complications after surgery.
This trial tests whether a saline-glycerin enema can help children with bowel leakage (fecal incontinence). It is designed for children aged 3 to 16 who have leakage due to certain conditions like corrected anal birth defects, Hirschsprung disease, or severe constipation.
