Long-Term Health Outcomes in Children With Hirschsprung's Disease or Anorectal Malformations
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study follows children who were born with Hirschsprung's disease (a condition affecting the nerves in the colon) or anorectal malformations (differences in how the rectum or anus formed) to understand how they do over time. Researchers will track health outcomes and quality of life to help improve care for future children with these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a saline-glycerin enema can help children with bowel leakage (fecal incontinence). It is designed for children aged 3 to 16 who have leakage due to certain conditions like corrected anal birth defects, Hirschsprung disease, or severe constipation.
This study looks at long-term health and development outcomes in children who were diagnosed and treated for Hirschsprung’s disease or anorectal malformations. It uses both numbers and interviews to understand what happens over time after treatment, helping families and clinicians plan better care.
This study compares a new, non-invasive device to the current standard test (which is more invasive) for measuring how well the large bowel works in children. It may help diagnose or monitor bowel function without the need for a more uncomfortable procedure.
This trial collects leftover intestine tissue from children having bowel surgery to help develop future treatments using a child's own cells. It aims to find better ways to repair the bowel without needing donor tissue.
This trial looks at how well the Swenson procedure works for children with Hirschsprung disease. It helps doctors understand the best surgical approach for this condition.
