Special ice cream for esophagus health in diabetes
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special ice cream can help the esophagus (the tube that carries food to your stomach) work better in people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers want to see if the ice cream can improve how food moves down the esophagus.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses special probes to measure the movement and pressure in your esophagus (the tube connecting your mouth to your stomach) to better understand swallowing problems like achalasia, GERD, and other conditions. The goal is to improve how doctors diagnose and treat these issues.
This trial tests injecting special cells from your own fat tissue into your esophagus to help reduce severe acid reflux that hasn't improved with standard medications. The goal is to strengthen the valve that prevents acid from backing up.
This study looks at why people with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) still have bad heartburn or regurgitation even when they take strong acid-reducing medications. It aims to find better ways to understand and manage these symptoms.
This study tracks patients with reflux, swallowing problems, or other esophageal symptoms to understand how the esophagus moves. It may help if you have heartburn, regurgitation, or related issues like cough or chest pain.
This study studies how a standardized meal affects digestion using special monitoring in children and young adults with stomach or gut symptom problems (and compares them to healthy controls). It may help doctors understand what causes gut symptoms and guide better treatments.
This study looks at how diabetes affects stomach function by measuring stomach activity with special tests. It may help doctors better understand and treat stomach problems in people with diabetes.
