Nursing support for parents of babies with Hirschsprung disease
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial is for parents of babies with Hirschsprung disease who need daily nursing care before surgery. It studies whether extra nursing support can help reduce parents' stress while taking care of their baby at home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is 2 months old or younger and has or is suspected to have Hirschsprung disease
- Your baby needs daily nursings (like enemas or rectal washes) 1 to 2 times a day before surgery
- Your baby may be able to go home before the surgery
- You (and the other parent if applicable) are willing to sign a consent form
- The baby’s daily nursings are working well (no need for a stoma)

This study looks at whether physical therapy (exercises) can help children who have had surgery for Hirschsprung's disease feel better and have fewer bowel problems. Your child may take part if they have had the surgery and are coming for regular check-ups.
This study looks at long-term health and development outcomes in children who were diagnosed and treated for Hirschsprung’s disease or anorectal malformations. It uses both numbers and interviews to understand what happens over time after treatment, helping families and clinicians plan better care.
This study keeps a research record of people who have Hirschsprung disease and have had surgery. It helps doctors better understand long-term outcomes and care needs for future patients.
This trial collects leftover intestine tissue from children having bowel surgery to help develop future treatments using a child's own cells. It aims to find better ways to repair the bowel without needing donor tissue.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery to repair a rare birth defect affecting the whole large intestine (total colonic Hirschsprung disease). Your child will have already had a first surgery as a baby; this study tests which second surgery works better, using robot or laparoscopy to help with recovery.
This study looks at bladder and sexual symptoms in people who had surgery for Hirschsprung disease, a condition affecting the bowel. It aims to understand long-term effects on urinary and sexual health to improve follow-up care.
