miRNA study for children with stomach pain
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at certain molecules (miRNAs) in children with ongoing stomach pain to see if they can help diagnose different types of stomach issues. It may help find better ways to understand your child's pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has stomach pain that keeps coming back and needs a test where a tiny camera looks inside the stomach (called an upper endoscopy or gastroscopy).
- The pain might be like an ulcer (pain that comes and goes, feels better with food or antacid, or wakes them up at night), or it might feel like bloating, loss of appetite, or heartburn.
- Your child does not have other known stomach conditions (like inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, or functional abdominal pain) that already explain the pain.
- Your child is not currently taking medicines called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) that lower stomach acid.
- Your child does not have other serious health problems.

This study checks if a stool test can find H. pylori bacteria in children, instead of using a stomach biopsy during an endoscopy. It may help diagnose stomach issues with less discomfort.
This study uses a simple stomach ultrasound and a blood test for H. pylori bacteria to help predict serious ulcer complications like bleeding or perforation. It may help doctors decide if you need urgent treatment.
This study looks at how often an endoscopy (a camera test to look inside the stomach and gut) finds a medical reason for long-term belly pain in children aged 6 to 18. It may help if your child has pain that does not go away and has worrying signs, or if treatments like acid-reducing medicine or diet changes have not worked.
This trial is for adults aged 18 to 80 who have a Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in their stomach and have never been treated for it. The study will look at how treating the infection affects symptoms like indigestion or stomach pain.
This study looks at the gut bacteria (microbiome) of children and young adults with CIPO who have a stoma, to see if there is a link with belly pain. It may help doctors understand why some people with CIPO have pain and could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at whether a stomach infection (Helicobacter pylori) is linked to migraine headaches in children. If your child has migraines, this trial could help find a possible connection.
