Upper endoscopy for children with ongoing stomach pain
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how well upper endoscopy, a procedure where a thin tube with a camera looks inside the stomach and upper intestine, can find the cause of long-lasting stomach pain in children. It may help doctors understand what is causing the pain and guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at children who need a digestive tract examination with an endoscope, which is a flexible tube with a camera. It aims to understand the procedure's use in kids at a specific hospital.
This study uses a special type of endoscopy with ultrasound (endoscopic ultrasound) to get a closer look at areas in your upper digestive tract that appear thickened on scans. The goal is to better understand what is causing the thickening and to help guide your next steps.
This study looks at whether doing an endoscopy (a test where a small camera is used to look inside the stomach) helps find the cause of long-term stomach pain in children. It may help doctors decide if this test is useful for kids with chronic belly pain.
This study looks at whether how long children fast before an upper endoscopy (a camera look at the stomach) affects how much food or liquid is left in the stomach during the test. It uses existing medical records, so you don't need to do anything new.
This trial studies how the stomach is working in children around the time of surgery. It may help improve how doctors assess and manage stomach function to make surgery safer and more comfortable.
This trial looks at using endoscopy to find gut problems in children who aren't growing well (failure to thrive). The goal is to see if digestive issues are causing the poor growth and maybe find ways to help.
