Gut oxygen therapy for bowel problems from low oxygen
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment that delivers oxygen directly to the gut through a small tube. It is for people with long-term heart failure or sleep apnea who also have belly pain, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a diagnosis of chronic heart failure or obstructive sleep apnea that causes low oxygen levels.
- You must have ongoing gut problems like bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or stomach pain for at least a month that did not improve with standard treatment.
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You must be able to have a small tube placed into your intestine through an endoscope and tolerate it.
- You must be willing to stay in bed for the treatment sessions and cooperate with the procedures.

This trial tests whether giving extra oxygen through a nasal tube during a sedated GI scope (gastroscopy or colonoscopy) helps people with COPD breathe more easily. It may reduce the risk of low oxygen levels during the procedure.
This trial tests whether high-flow oxygen therapy can prevent low oxygen levels in patients at risk during a digestive endoscopy with deep sedation. It might help if you have obesity, stable lung or heart disease, or sleep apnea.
This trial tests a small oxygen catheter placed through the mouth during a sedated endoscopy procedure (ERCP) to keep your blood oxygen levels safer. Researchers want to see if this method reduces the drops in oxygen that can happen when you're sedated for this procedure.
This trial tests whether breathing extra oxygen (normobaric oxygen therapy) can help people with colorectal cancer who are receiving chemotherapy. The goal is to see if oxygen therapy improves outcomes or reduces side effects.
This trial tests whether breathing pure oxygen at normal pressure can help people with severe, long-lasting lack of blood flow in their legs. It may offer a way to improve oxygen delivery to the leg and possibly avoid amputation.
This trial tests a method to measure oxygen in the air you breathe out during emergency intubation. It aims to help doctors prevent low oxygen levels in patients at high risk, such as those with pneumonia, sepsis, or obesity.
