Audio-recorded gut symptom interview to help diagnose FGIDs
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial uses natural-language conversations (spoken interactions) to improve how clinicians evaluate and diagnose functional gastrointestinal disorders, a group of conditions that affect the gut. If you are scheduled for a GI clinic visit or a diagnostic endoscopy, your recorded responses may help build better evaluation tools.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an upcoming appointment in the GI Motility Clinic or a diagnostic endoscopy at MGH Gastroenterology
- You agree to have your visit/interactions audio-recorded
- You can sign a consent form to join the study
- You are a native English speaker (or speak English as your native language)
- You can communicate your symptoms yourself

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is a registry (a way to collect health information) for adults with certain long-term “functional” gastrointestinal (GI) problems. It may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve future treatments.
This study uses small sensors placed on your belly to record electrical signals from your stomach and intestines. It may help doctors better understand conditions like Crohn's disease and other digestive issues without using needles or inside-the-body tests.
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 uses a tiny capsule to collect samples from your small intestine to learn about gut bacteria in people with IBS or other functional gut disorders. It could help researchers understand what causes digestive symptoms.
This study uses brain scans (MRIs) and a test meal to understand how the brain and stomach communicate in people with functional dyspepsia (ongoing pain or fullness). This could help improve treatments by identifying how people with this condition feel and process stomach sensations differently.
This study follows adults with long-lasting “functional” digestive symptoms as part of routine care. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and improve how they are managed.
