Comparing one vs two doctors for small intestine camera test
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of doing a long tube with a camera to look at your small intestine: one done by a single doctor versus two doctors working together. The goal is to see if one method works better to help diagnose or treat small intestine issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have a suspected problem in the small intestine that needs a camera test.
- You have never had surgery on your small intestine.
- You have no swollen veins in your esophagus that are prone to bleeding.
- You are healthy enough to receive general anesthesia.

This study compares two procedures—endoscopic stricturotomy and balloon dilation—to treat a narrowed section (stricture) in the small bowel caused by Crohn's disease. If you have a partial blockage, this trial aims to see which procedure is better at safely opening the bowel.
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 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 endoscopic treatments for a narrowed area (stricture) in the small intestine caused by Crohn's disease. One method uses a balloon to stretch the narrowing, and the other makes a small cut with a special scope. The goal is to see which approach helps better and more safely.
This trial tests a new approach that combines two procedures (stricturotomy and balloon dilation) against stricturotomy alone to treat short narrowed areas (strictures) caused by Crohn's disease. The goal is to see which method works better for keeping the bowel open longer.
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.
