This trial looks at when to perform an endoscopy (a camera test to look inside your stomach) in people who have both heart disease and stomach bleeding. If you take blood thinners for your heart and have a sudden stomach bleed, this study can help find the safest time for the procedure.
This trial tests if a combination of a nausea medicine (ondansetron) and a numbing spray (dyclonine) can make having a stomach scope test more comfortable for people who are awake during it.
This trial compares two ways of giving lidocaine (a numbing medicine) to see which better prevents a rise in pressure around the eye after a breathing tube is placed. It may help patients having planned surgery who are at low risk for eye or brain problems.
This trial compares two ways of measuring time during an upper GI endoscopy (a camera test that looks at your esophagus, stomach, and the start of your small intestine) to see which one helps doctors find possible cancers better. The goal is to improve how these exams are done for people who need them for diagnosis or monitoring.
This trial looks at how often bleeding happens after an upper scope (EGD) or colonoscopy in people who keep taking blood-thinning medicines during the procedure. The results may help doctors choose safer prep plans to lower bleeding risk.
This trial tests if giving lidocaine during laparoscopic gallbladder removal reduces pain and helps recovery. It is for adults having elective gallbladder surgery who are generally healthy.
