Predicting success of double-balloon endoscopy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial uses a CT scan to predict how well a special endoscope can reach the entire small intestine. It may help doctors plan your procedure and improve results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You are scheduled for a complete small-bowel exam with a double-balloon endoscope
- You had a CT scan of your belly within 2 weeks before the endoscopy
- You are not pregnant, do not have high-risk varices, and can safely have general anesthesia
- You can provide informed consent

This trial is comparing a one-person vs. two-person method for doing a small-bowel scope test (enteroscopy) using a single-balloon tube. It aims to find out which technique is better for patients who need a deep look into the small intestine.
This study aims to improve how small-bowel endoscopy is performed and evaluated. It will test a standardized quality system to help doctors do the procedure better and more consistently.
This study is building a tool to predict if a patient's stomach will empty normally before a sedated upper endoscopy (gastroscopy). It tests risk factors that help doctors plan safer procedures.
This study aims to build a model to predict your risk of gastrointestinal cancer based on personal risk factors. It involves having both an upper endoscopy (gastroscopy) and a colonoscopy at the same time.
This trial is testing a tool to predict how long an ERCP procedure will take. It involves ERCPs done by trainees under supervision and uses a tiny camera inside the bile duct.
This study tests if a computer model can accurately predict which adults have colon polyps (growths that can turn into cancer) during a colonoscopy. It may help doctors decide who needs closer follow-up.
