Study comparing benign and malignant causes of bowel blockage in adults
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial looks at adults diagnosed with intussusception (a bowel blockage) to understand whether the cause is non-cancerous or cancerous. The goal is to help guide better diagnosis and treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with intussusception (a bowel telescoping that causes blockage) through imaging tests like CT, ultrasound, or barium study, or during surgery
- You had surgery to treat the intussusception and doctors have followed up with you to know the final cause
- You do not have missing medical records or were lost to follow-up
- Your intussusception did not go away on its own without further testing or treatment

This study looks at how celiac disease is linked to a bowel blockage called intussusception in children. It may help doctors better detect and manage this complication.
This study tracks how hospitals around the world treat a blockage in the large bowel (called a large-bowel obstruction). The goal is to learn what treatments work best and improve care for patients like you.
This trial studies whether using contrast dye (a special substance seen on scans) helps in treating people with a specific type of small-bowel blockage. It may help doctors make better decisions without needing emergency surgery.
This trial studies treatment choices for adults with a large-bowel blockage caused by colon cancer. It compares doing an emergency procedure now (like a stent or stoma) versus bridging to a later colon surgery, to see which approach is safer and works better.
This trial compares surgery to remove scar tissue (adhesiolysis) with a wait-and-see approach for people who recently had a small bowel blockage caused by scar tissue and were treated without surgery. The goal is to see which approach better prevents future blockages.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy) to fix intussusception in children when other non-surgical treatments haven't worked. It could help avoid a larger operation.
