Quality of life study for kids with intestinal failure
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how children with intestinal failure feel and function day to day, using questionnaires. It aims to better understand quality of life to improve care for families managing specialized nutrition needs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You receive care in a hospital intestinal rehabilitation program
- Your child has intestinal failure and has needed specialized nutrition (often given through a vein) for most of the past 60 days
- Your child is between 6 months and 25 years old
- You can complete the questionnaires on your own (no help needed)
- You (or your family) can read/speak English or Spanish

This study tests a program to help patients with chronic intestinal failure manage their parenteral nutrition (PN) at home. It may improve quality of life and reduce complications.
This study looks at how the body uses energy (calories) in people with intestinal failure compared to healthy controls. The results may help improve nutritional care.
This study looks at children who have stopped needing IV nutrition (parenteral nutrition) for at least a year after having intestinal failure. It aims to understand their long-term health and growth.
This study is testing a new nutritional drink or powder to see if children like it, tolerate it well, and can stick with it. It replaces your child's current supplement with a new one, and researchers will check how it affects their digestion and overall health.
This study studies how a standardized meal affects digestion using special monitoring in children and young adults with stomach or gut symptom problems (and compares them to healthy controls). It may help doctors understand what causes gut symptoms and guide better treatments.
This study looks at how a drug called ETI (a combination of three medicines) affects the quality of life and gut health of children with cystic fibrosis. If you or your child has the right type of CF and is between 2 and 18 years old, this trial may help us understand how treatment improves daily life and digestion.
