Wearable magnet tracking for capsule endoscopy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial checks how well a wearable magnet tracking system can guide a capsule camera through your digestive tract. It may help doctors see where the capsule is in real time without changing the basic capsule endoscopy process.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 75 years old
- Be able and willing to sign written informed consent
- Do NOT have swallowing trouble or blockage symptoms in the stomach/upper intestines
- Do NOT have intestinal narrowing/stenosis, major visible GI bleeding, or prior upper belly surgeries that changed your anatomy
- Do NOT have certain heart or medical device issues (like pacemakers or implanted devices with metals/electromedical parts)

This trial tests a special camera-in-a-pill (capsule endoscopy) to find the cause of upper GI bleeding in emergency patients. It aims to offer a less invasive way to diagnose bleeding without a traditional endoscope.
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.
This trial tests a capsule camera that doctors can steer using magnets to look at the small intestine. It may help patients who need small-bowel endoscopy when a standard approach isn’t enough, but several safety checks are required.
This study compares a new pill-sized camera (magnetic capsule) with the usual scope for checking the stomach after cancer surgery. It may be easier and less uncomfortable than the standard tube test.
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.
This trial is testing a new way to connect parts of the large or small intestine using magnets instead of staples or stitches. It may help people who need certain types of colon or rectal surgery recover with less pain and fewer complications.
