Electronic nose for detecting colitis in children
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study is testing whether an electronic nose (a device that detects smells) can help identify active inflammation in the gut. It might offer a less invasive alternative to colonoscopy in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be scheduled for a colonoscopy with a pediatric (children's) gastroenterologist

This study uses advanced imaging and protein tests on tissue samples to see how well treatments work in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It aims to help doctors personalize care and improve outcomes.
This study collects stool samples and health information to help develop a new test that may tell the difference between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). If you have not been diagnosed with a chronic gut disorder, you may be able to join.
This study looks at a new way to measure how well treatment is working in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It uses a special eye test called pupillometry, which is painless and non-invasive, to see if it can help doctors adjust treatment earlier.
This study tests non-invasive tools to find active inflammation in people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. You may need to give extra stool samples before your colonoscopy and calprotectin test.
This study tests a device called AIRE-2 that analyzes your breath to see if it can help manage IBD symptoms. It is for people with IBD who are in remission but still have IBS-like symptoms like belly pain or bloating.
This study looks at whether a simple test can help doctors tell the difference between conditions that cause long-term gut problems, like irritable bowel syndrome (a functional disorder) and inflammatory bowel disease (a disease that causes inflammation). It aims to find a way to diagnose without invasive procedures, which could lead to faster and more comfortable diagnosis for patients.
