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.
Who can take part
- You have type 2 diabetes that is well-controlled (stable blood sugar) and you haven't changed your diabetes medications in the last 6 months.
- You have not had major surgery on your chest or belly (except appendix or gallbladder removal more than a year ago).
- You do not have a swallowing disorder, liver cirrhosis, severe heart failure, or serious diarrhea.
- You are not taking medications that affect esophagus movement (like certain heart drugs, antidepressants, or muscle relaxants).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you don't have lactose intolerance (allergy to milk products).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 a new procedure where fat cells are taken from your own body and injected into the lower esophagus to help treat acid reflux that hasn't been controlled by medication. The goal is to strengthen the valve that keeps stomach acid from backing up into the esophagus.
This trial compares two ways of doing a procedure called POEM (which helps food move through your esophagus) to see if one method causes less heartburn after treatment. If you have achalasia, this study might help you have a more comfortable recovery.
This study looks at how well the esophagus works in people with swallowing problems, to improve diagnosis and treatment.
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.
