NCT ID: NCT01080690 Recruiting - Abdominal Pain Clinical Trials

Endosonography For Right Side Acute Intestinal Mal-Symptoms (EFRAIM- Study)

EFRAIM
Start date: January 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Hypothesis: Endosonography (EUS) in a single setting is equivalent to the standard algorithm combining abdominal sonography, gastroscopy, endosonography in patients with acute right side abdominal pain. Patients with acute right side abdominal pain will be randomized in one of two groups. In each group all examinations (sonography, gastroscopy, endosonography) will be performed. The study group only defines the order of the examinations. Abdominal sonography will always be performed before endoscopic procedures. In group 1, gastroscopy is first followed by endosonography. In group 2 endosonography is first followed by gastroscopy. Two physicians will review all results of all examinations, patient charts as well as a follow up visit and establish a clinical diagnosis. Yield of the clinical diagnosis by EUS results alone will be compared to the yield by combined results of sonography, EGD and EUS.

NCT ID: NCT01070277 Recruiting - Abdominal Pain Clinical Trials

Antiparasitic Treatment for Returning Travelers With Chronic Diarrhea

Start date: March 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Study hypotheses is that Antiparasitic therapy in patients with chronic diarrhea after travel to a developing country, with a negative stool findings, will be significantly effective in eliminating diarrhea and other gastro-intestinal complaints compared to similar patients receiving placebo.

NCT ID: NCT01005017 Recruiting - Chronic Pain Clinical Trials

Percutaneous Lesioning Splanchnic Nerves in Patients With Chronic Pancreatitis

PRFLSN
Start date: February 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Chronic pancreatitis is a progressive inflammatory disease resulting in slow destruction of the pancreas. This chronic inflammation can lead to chronic abdominal pain which can last for many years. Unfortunately, medical management often is of only limited benefit in treating the pain of chronic pancreatitis. Management of patients with intractable pain is difficult, often resulting in narcotic addiction. Early results in a small group of patients suggest that percutaneous radiofrequent lesioning of splanchnic nerves has good potential for pain control in a subset of patients with chronic pancreatitis. Given the simplicity of the procedure, it clearly warrants reappraisal to identify its current role in pancreatic pain management.

NCT ID: NCT00952146 Recruiting - Abdominal Pain Clinical Trials

Transgastric Peritoneoscopy and Appendectomy

Start date: November 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is a feasibility study. Patients with acute abdominal pain who are planning to undergo a diagnostic laparoscopy are asked to participate in the study. The aim of the study is to evaluate if transgastric peritoneoscopy is feasible.

NCT ID: NCT00209807 Recruiting - Pain Clinical Trials

Effect of Escitalopram vs. Reboxetine on Gastro-intestinal Sensitivity of Patients With Major Depressive Disorder

Start date: September 2005
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) commonly have many gastrointestinal complaints. Gastrointestinal pain is classified into 2 categories: visceral and somatic pain. The main aim of this study is to compare somatic and visceral sensitivity between healthy people and pateints with MDD. These two sensitivities will be assessed by the 2 following tests: standardized rectal distension and Transdermal transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation. Thereafter, patients with MDD will be randomly allocated to escitalopram or reboxetine. After 6 weeks of treatment, somatic and visceral sensitivity will be reassessed.

NCT ID: NCT00060619 Recruiting - Migraine Clinical Trials

Migraine and Recurrent Abdominal Pain in Children

Start date: May 1999
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study will evaluate a new model for assessing and treating migraine and recurrent abdominal pain in children. The model combines behavioral techniques such as relaxation training with biologic components such as thermal biofeedback.
