One vs. two people for small-bowel scope test
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial is comparing a one-person vs. two-person method for doing a small-bowel scope test (enteroscopy) using a single-balloon tube. It aims to find out which technique is better for patients who need a deep look into the small intestine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your doctor suspects you have a problem in your small bowel and plans to do an enteroscopy (a scope test of the small bowel)
- You have NOT had surgery on your small bowel before
- You can follow the bowel prep instructions before the test
- You do NOT have swollen veins in your food pipe (esophageal varices) that could bleed easily

This trial compares two ways to treat narrowed sections of the small intestine caused by Crohn's disease: a small incision made during a balloon-assisted enteroscopy or balloon dilation alone. It aims to find which approach works better for people whose symptoms are not fully controlled with medication.
This trial uses a CT scan to predict how well a special endoscope can reach the entire small intestine. It may help doctors plan your procedure and improve results.
This trial looks at how deeply doctors can safely insert a camera scope into the ileum (a part of the small intestine) during a procedure called retrograde enteroscopy. It may help improve how the exam is done for people whose small-bowel problem wasn’t fully found by usual tests.
This study aims to improve how small-bowel endoscopy is performed and evaluated. It will test a standardized quality system to help doctors do the procedure better and more consistently.
This study compares two ways to create a bypass between your stomach and small intestine using a special endoscope. It is for people with a blocked stomach outlet, if surgery or stents are not a good option for them.
This trial tests a single-use gastroscope used at the bedside versus the standard reusable gastroscope used in the endoscopy unit. It aims to see if the bedside scope works as well for patients who are already in the hospital and need an upper endoscopy without general anesthesia.
