This trial tests a special camera-in-a-pill (capsule endoscopy) to find the cause of upper GI bleeding in emergency patients. It aims to offer a less invasive way to diagnose bleeding without a traditional endoscope.
This trial tests a new rinsing liquid used during a colonoscopy to see if it helps doctors see the colon more clearly. It might make the procedure more effective at finding problems.
This trial tests whether taking two medicines (N-acetylcysteine and simethicone) before an upper endoscopy helps the doctor see the stomach lining more clearly. It may be an option for people having their first endoscopy, without active bleeding.
This study tests a pill-sized camera that you swallow to find bleeding in your stomach or intestines. It may help if you have bleeding while taking antiplatelet medicines (blood thinners) and do not see blood in your stool.
This trial tests a camera pill (capsule endoscopy) as an alternative to a regular colonoscopy for people with colon or rectum symptoms. It's a simpler way to look inside your large intestine without a tube.
This trial tests a new liquid solution that you drink before a colonoscopy to see if it cleans the colon better than the usual prep. If you're scheduled for a colonoscopy, this might make the procedure more effective and comfortable.
