Finding the best time to check gallbladder function
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study is looking for people with healthy gallbladders and bile ducts to find the best time to measure how well the gallbladder works. It uses a simple ultrasound test and does not involve any drugs or procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a normal gallbladder and bile ducts, as seen on an ultrasound.
- You cannot have had an ERCP (a scope procedure on your bile ducts).
- You cannot have had surgery to remove gallstones while keeping your gallbladder.
- You cannot have had pancreatitis or any surgery on your stomach or intestines.
- You must be free of serious heart, liver, kidney, or other major health problems.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a special diet can help pass tiny gallstones (smaller than 2 mm) out of your gallbladder without surgery. It might be a good option if you have very small stones and want to avoid more invasive treatments.
This study tests whether doing a second ultrasound a few hours after the first one can help doctors find gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis) earlier, which could lead to faster treatment.
This trial compares a new ultrasound-guided way to drain the gallbladder using an endoscope versus non-endoscopic treatments. It’s for adults with acute gallbladder inflammation (from stones) who cannot have surgery, aiming to reduce complications and improve recovery.
This study looks at how your gut bacteria and gut chemical products change after treatment for gallstones. It may help researchers understand what drives symptoms and recovery after surgery and/or endoscopic procedures.
This study follows people with gallbladder problems and healthy people to learn what factors predict gallbladder cancer. It may help doctors spot risks earlier and understand which conditions are more concerning.
This study looks at gut bacteria (your microbiome) in people with gallstones to better understand what’s going on in the body. It includes adults having gallbladder removal surgery, and it may help researchers find better ways to predict or treat gallstone disease.
