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 trial compares a magnetic capsule you swallow (like a high-tech pill with a camera) to a standard endoscopy for checking the stomach after surgery. It is designed for patients over 65 or those with conditions like heart or lung disease who may need a less invasive option.
This trial tests a new type of 'capsule' (a small pill with a camera) that doctors can guide with a magnet to look for the source of upper digestive tract bleeding. It's for people who come to the emergency room with signs of bleeding from the stomach or esophagus and are stable enough for the exam.
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 trial tests a new robot-assisted capsule (a tiny pill with a camera) to look at your small bowel for hidden causes of iron deficiency anemia. It may help find the source of bleeding without needing traditional endoscopy or surgery.
