Nail fold test for stomach blood vessel condition
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a simple nail fold test can detect changes in small blood vessels that match changes seen in the stomach. It may help people with a stomach condition called GAVE, especially if they also have a connective tissue disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at people with a stomach condition called gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) to understand how it affects digestion and causes symptoms. Researchers want to learn if stomach muscle function problems are common in this condition.
This study looks at whether simple blood vessel tests can help spot depression in people with chronic atrophic gastritis (a long-term stomach lining condition). It may lead to better detection and care for mood issues in this group.
This study looks at whether a simple test called capillaroscopy (which examines tiny blood vessels in your fingernails) can help doctors better manage undifferentiated connective tissue disease. If you join, the test results will be used to guide your care, and researchers will see how it affects treatment decisions.
This study looks at blood problems in people who have angiodysplasia, which are abnormal blood vessels in the gut that can bleed. It may help doctors understand why these vessels bleed and how to better treat them.
This study is testing whether a simple blood test can help find stomach cancer early, before symptoms appear. This could offer a less invasive way to detect the disease compared to a scope procedure.
This study looks at tiny blood vessels in the nail area of people with psoriasis using a special microscope. It aims to see if psoriasis affects these vessels, which may help doctors better understand the disease.
