New single-use gastroscope compared to standard for bedside use
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study asks patients like you to share their experience about using a single-use gastroscope during an elective or subacute upper endoscopy. Your feedback will help doctors understand how these disposable scopes work in everyday practice.
This study compares single-use and reusable gastroscopes to see which works better during stomach exams done in the operating room. It may help you understand the tools used in your procedure.
This study tests a special aspiration (suction) catheter used during an upper GI endoscopy to see how well it works during routine care. It may help doctors improve how they clear fluid or residue during the procedure.
This trial compares two ways to create a new opening between your stomach and intestine using a special endoscope (a thin tube with a camera). The goal is to help food pass through when a blockage is preventing it, and to see if a newer technique with a balloon is safer or more effective than the current method.
This trial tests if a capsule-sized camera can be used at home to check for stomach problems. It's for healthy people or those with stomach symptoms like pain, nausea, or bleeding.
This study tests a new sensor to check how healthy the lining of your esophagus is during a routine upper endoscopy. It may help researchers understand esophageal lining injury and how well it recovers over time.
