Magnetically guided camera pill for small bowel exam
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to move a camera pill through your small intestine using magnets. It is designed for people who already need a small bowel exam, and looks at how well the magnetic control works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must already be scheduled for a small bowel exam (enteroscopy).
- You cannot have serious heart, lung, or other major organ problems.
- You cannot have a blocked small intestine that prevents bowel preparation.
- You cannot have had multiple abdominal surgeries.
- You cannot have a pacemaker, metal implant, or other implanted device.

This trial checks how well a wearable magnet tracking system can guide a capsule camera through your digestive tract. It may help doctors see where the capsule is in real time without changing the basic capsule endoscopy process.
This trial tests a capsule camera that doctors can steer using magnets to look at the small intestine. It may help patients who need small-bowel endoscopy when a standard approach isn’t enough, but several safety checks are required.
This study compares a new pill-sized camera (magnetic capsule) with the usual scope for checking the stomach after cancer surgery. It may be easier and less uncomfortable than the standard tube test.
This study tests a swallowable magnetic camera to examine your stomach and small intestine before bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. The camera may help doctors plan your surgery and catch any issues beforehand.
This study tests a pill-sized camera that you swallow to find bleeding in your stomach or intestines. It may help if you have bleeding while taking antiplatelet medicines (blood thinners) and do not see blood in your stool.
This trial tests a special camera-in-a-pill (capsule endoscopy) to find the cause of upper GI bleeding in emergency patients. It aims to offer a less invasive way to diagnose bleeding without a traditional endoscope.
