A new noninvasive test for small bowel sensation
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study is developing a new, noninvasive test to measure how the small intestine senses stimulation. It aims to create a 'small intestine stress test' that may help better understand and someday diagnose gut sensitivity issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are not experiencing any current stomach or bowel symptoms.
- You have no history of gastrointestinal disorders, especially disorders of gut-brain interaction (like irritable bowel syndrome).
- You have not had surgery on your intestines (except appendix or gallbladder removal).
- You do not have conditions that cause altered sensation or chronic pain, such as fibromyalgia, endometriosis, or chronic pelvic pain.
- You are not taking medications that affect gut movement or the gut lining, such as chronic anti-inflammatory pills (NSAIDs).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new imaging technique that uses a special dye and a camera during a routine colonoscopy to see how leaky the bowel lining is. It may help doctors understand inflammation better and could lead to better treatments for IBD.
This study checks how sensitive your gut is to normal stimuli in people with IBS, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and in healthy volunteers. Results may help researchers understand why some people feel more abdominal discomfort and how that connects to inflammatory bowel conditions.
This trial tests whether two imaging techniques, MSOT and MRI, can safely and non-invasively measure how long it takes for food to move through the bowels in children with chronic constipation or other bowel emptying problems. It may help doctors better understand and treat these conditions.
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.
This study uses a tiny capsule to collect samples from your small intestine to learn about gut bacteria in people with IBS or other functional gut disorders. It could help researchers understand what causes digestive symptoms.
This research study looks at using sacral neuromodulation—a treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation of nerves in the lower spine—to help children with bowel movement problems. Researchers want to understand how well this treatment works and what improvements matter most to patients and families.
