Large-bowel blockage treatment study
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tracks how hospitals around the world treat a blockage in the large bowel (called a large-bowel obstruction). The goal is to learn what treatments work best and improve care for patients like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are in the hospital with a true mechanical blockage in your large bowel (not a pseudo-obstruction).
- Your blockage is being treated either with surgery or with non-surgical methods (like a tube or medication) as per your hospital's standard care.
- If you have a hole (perforation) in your large bowel, it must be related to the blockage itself.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether using contrast dye (a special substance seen on scans) helps in treating people with a specific type of small-bowel blockage. It may help doctors make better decisions without needing emergency surgery.
This trial is testing if a special contrast drink can help stimulate the intestines to clear a blockage without surgery. If you have a small bowel obstruction caused by scar tissue, this might be an option for you.
This trial studies treatment choices for adults with a large-bowel blockage caused by colon cancer. It compares doing an emergency procedure now (like a stent or stoma) versus bridging to a later colon surgery, to see which approach is safer and works better.
This study tests the best way to treat a small bowel blockage caused by scar tissue (adhesions). It compares different care approaches to help you recover faster and avoid repeat blockages.
This trial studies whether a steroid medicine (dexamethasone) helps people with a bowel blockage get better faster and avoid surgery. If you have a blockage from scar tissue and are being watched in the hospital, this could be an option.
This trial looks at adults diagnosed with intussusception (a bowel blockage) to understand whether the cause is non-cancerous or cancerous. The goal is to help guide better diagnosis and treatment decisions.
