This trial is testing if a camera test of the stomach and intestines (called upper endoscopy) can help find gut-related causes in children who are not gaining weight as expected.
This trial studies whether a swallowable camera capsule can detect bleeding in the small intestine when standard scopes (up the stomach and through the colon) haven’t found the cause. If your bleeding source is suspected but not seen on those tests, this could help identify where the bleeding is coming from.
This study looks at the typical features and risk factors in children diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It may help families understand what affects IBD in kids, even if it is not testing a new treatment.
This study looks at how helpful upper endoscopy is for children who have had belly pain for at least 3 months. It may help doctors decide when to recommend this test.
This study uses a capsule camera (a tiny camera you swallow) to help doctors see the small intestine in children with poor growth, or in some adults who are already scheduled for a scope. It may help researchers better understand what’s causing malnourishment when the reason is unclear.
This study tests whether a “videocapsule endoscopy” (a small camera you swallow) can find the cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding when a first scope doesn’t show active bleeding. It may help doctors locate hidden bleeding sources and guide treatment.
