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 study compares two ways of doing a long tube with a camera to look at your small intestine: one done by a single doctor versus two doctors working together. The goal is to see if one method works better to help diagnose or treat small intestine issues.
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 tests a computer model that uses your health information to predict if you might have colon polyps (small growths that can become cancer). It may help doctors decide who needs a colonoscopy, so you might avoid an unnecessary procedure.
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 trial looks at how deeply doctors can safely insert a camera scope into the ileum (a part of the small intestine) during a procedure called retrograde enteroscopy. It may help improve how the exam is done for people whose small-bowel problem wasn’t fully found by usual tests.
