Breath test for children with colitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether an electronic nose (e-nose) can detect colitis activity in children by analyzing breath samples. It may offer a non-invasive way to monitor the disease without repeated colonoscopies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be scheduled for a colonoscopy by your pediatric gastroenterologist.
- You must be under the care of a pediatric gastroenterologist.
- You must be willing to undergo an additional breath test (e-nose) before the colonoscopy.

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 uses simple breath tests to measure changes in your gut during dietary treatment for ulcerative colitis. It may help doctors understand why some people respond better to dietary changes and guide future treatment decisions.
This study tests a breath analysis (a sample you give by breathing into a device) to help detect or better understand colorectal cancer. It may help researchers see whether breath results can identify cancer sooner and in people who haven’t started treatment yet.
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 tests a new non-invasive way to detect colorectal cancer early using odor or breath samples and computer analysis. The goal is to find cancer or pre-cancer before symptoms develop, which could help catch these conditions when they're easier to treat.
This study checks whether breath tests can help identify small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in people with reflux-like symptoms (heartburn or regurgitation). If you qualify, you may be asked to avoid certain medicines and treatments for a short time so the test results are accurate.
