Recording stomach and gut signals with skin sensors
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have not eaten for at least 12 hours before the test
- You do not have a pacemaker
- You are not allergic to soy, dairy, peanuts, wheat, or nuts
- You have not had any surgery on your stomach or intestines

This study checks whether adding an extra, cross-body “transmural” evaluation (looking at inflammation throughout the bowel) improves care for adults with Crohn’s who are starting or receiving biologic (biotherapy) treatment. It uses close follow-up with stool calprotectin (a marker of gut inflammation) to see if this approach helps control inflammation.
This trial tests whether remote monitoring, using an app and home stool tests, can be a safe alternative to frequent clinic visits for people with stable IBD. If you qualify, you'll have fewer in-person appointments and more flexibility.
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 tests a new wireless capsule that you swallow, like a pill, to measure temperature inside your digestive tract. It is for healthy volunteers to see if the device is safe and works well.
This study looks at how nerves behave in small gut tissue samples (biopsies) from people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand IBS symptoms and what might be driving them.
This study uses a special imaging tracer (FAPI) to find scar tissue in the small intestine of people with Crohn's disease. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors better understand which parts of the intestine are scarred, which may guide treatment decisions.
