This trial looks at children who need a camera test (endoscopy) to check their digestive system. It helps doctors learn more about why these tests are done in kids.
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 testing if a camera test of the stomach and intestines (called upper endoscopy) can help find gut-related causes in children who are not gaining weight as expected.
This study looks at a new way for general practitioners (GPs) to diagnose appendicitis in children with belly pain. It aims to find out if a special checklist or test can help GPs decide which children need to go to the hospital, potentially saving unnecessary trips.
This study looks at how long children should fast (not eat or drink) before having an endoscopy—a camera procedure to look inside the stomach. Researchers will check how much food or fluid remains in the stomach and whether fasting guidelines work well for children.
This study looks at whether an upper endoscopy (a camera test to look inside your stomach and the first part of your small intestine) done within 24-48 hours of being admitted to the hospital can help guide treatment for acute pancreatitis. You may be able to join if you are an adult with a confirmed case of acute pancreatitis and are able to safely undergo this procedure.
