Study of ERCP for jaundice from bile duct blockage
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a procedure called ERCP works and how safe it is for people with jaundice from a blocked bile duct. ERCP uses a flexible tube to find and treat the blockage, which may help relieve your symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses a special type of MRI to check if jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes) is caused by a blockage in the bile ducts. It helps doctors see exactly where and why the blockage is happening, which can guide treatment.
This study looks at how a patient's anxiety before an ERCP procedure (a way to examine and treat the bile ducts and pancreas) affects their comfort during the procedure and the outcomes. It may help doctors better support patients in the future.
This study is looking at whether following a standard set of steps can lower the chances of a common complication after a procedure called ERCP, which is used to examine and treat problems in the bile ducts. The procedure involves inserting a thin tube through your mouth to reach the area, and the study aims to improve safety and reduce post-procedure pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas).
This trial compares two endoscopy approaches to drain a blocked bile duct caused by gallstones. It may help people who can’t safely have standard surgery decide which drainage method works best after an initial ERCP plan fails or is limited.
This study compares two procedures to drain bile from the liver in people with blocked bile ducts caused by cancer that cannot be removed. It looks at whether using an ultrasound-guided approach along with standard ERCP works better than ERCP alone.
This study is a registry that collects information about ERCP procedures to improve quality and track any complications. If you have had or are about to have an ERCP, your participation helps doctors make this procedure safer for everyone.
