Study of right-sided epiploic appendagitis vs diverticulitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at two conditions that cause similar belly pain to help doctors tell them apart. It may help you get the right treatment faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 20 years or older.
- You have belly pain on the right side.
- A CT scan has confirmed you have epiploic appendagitis (a harmless inflammation of small fat pouches in the belly).
- You do not have other belly problems that explain the pain.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at whether different ways of diagnosing appendicitis (like CT scans) are accurate. It's for people who already had surgery to remove their appendix and want to help doctors learn more.
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut may be linked to diverticular disease, a condition where small pouches form in the colon. By understanding this link, doctors hope to find better ways to manage or treat the disease.
This study looks at a new way for general practitioners (GPs) to diagnose appendicitis in children with belly pain. It aims to find out if a special checklist or test can help GPs decide which children need to go to the hospital, potentially saving unnecessary trips.
This study looks at ways to improve treatment for a mild form of diverticulitis (a sudden infection of small pouches in your colon) that is confirmed by a CT scan and is on the left side. It aims to find better ways to manage the condition in routine care, which might help you recover with fewer complications.
This study looks at how treatment affects quality of life in people with left-sided diverticulitis, including repeat episodes or complicated attacks. It may help doctors understand what improves day-to-day well-being and recovery for different diverticulitis situations.
This study tests if a bowel-cleaning solution (PEG) works well before colonoscopy. It compares people who have had their appendix removed to those who haven't.
