Filter by:The purpose of this study is to: 1. Determine if audio recorded guided imagery vs deep breathing exercises delivered via a digital media player improves abdominal pain symptoms in children with functional gastrointestinal pain disorders managed in the primary care setting. 2. Determine if audio recorded guided imagery and deep breathing exercises delivered via a digital media player improves psychosocial distress in children affected by functional gastrointestinal pain disorders managed in the primary care setting. The possibility of treating functional gastrointestinal pain disorders using remotely delivered psychosocial therapies has the potential to treat many children affected by functional gastrointestinal pain disorders in a cost-effective manner. This study will provide insight into how well these patients in the primary care could benefit from such interventions.
Randomised controlled trial comparing standard outpatient clinic treatment with multi-disciplinary clinic treatment for functional gastrointestinal disorders. Patients will be followed up to end of clinic treatment and 12 months beyond the end of treatment. Symptoms, quality of life, costs to the healthcare system and psychological outcomes will be assessed.
This non-interventional, observational study investigates the course of symptoms in patients with functional dyspepsia under treatment with a fixed combination of pepsin and amino acid hydrochloride over a period of approximately 6 weeks. The change of the Gastrointestinal Symptom Score (GIS©) was the primary parameter for the assessment of efficacy and was performed at baseline, after 3 and 6 weeks of treatment respectively. Safety measures included recording of AEs and physical examination as well as measurement of vital signs. The aim was to observe 100 patients during the course of this non-interventional study.
This study aims to assess the effect, if any, on the adenoma detection rate of BowelScope bowel cancer screening flexible sigmoidoscopies by using the Endocuff Vision device.
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, first-in-human (FIH) study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary antineoplastic activity of pralsetinib (BLU-667) administered orally in participants with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), RET-altered NSCLC and other RET-altered solid tumors.
This is a randomized, controlled, 2x2 cross-over study to assess the effects of cocoa solids on gastrointestinal transit, post-prandial sensation and well-being. Additionally functional brain imaging will be applied to identify regions of brain that are activated or inactivated by cocoa ingestion. Healthy subjects will be recruited and randomized to receive either dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids) or white chocolate (0% cocoa solids) in addition to their normal diet in randomized order. Reference standard methodology will be applied to measure gastric emptying, oro-caecal and colonic transit time. Dark and white chocolate (100g, ~500kcal, ~50% fat) will be consumed with radio-opaque markers on three consecutive days. On the third day chocolate ingestion will be followed by measurements of postprandial brain activity using FDG-Positron Emission Tomography. Additionally colonic transit will be assessed based on the number and distribution of radio-opaque markers in the colon. On the fourth day gastric emptying and oro-caecal transit time will be assessed by scintigraphy after ingestion of a dark or white chocolate mousse test meal (both 150g, ~500kcal, ~50% fat). During both interventional studies pre- and post-prandial satiety and dyspeptic symptoms, well-being and mood will be recorded. Additionally, validated questionnaires will assess digestive comfort and well-bring at the end of each study day. These results will deliver comprehensive information about the effects of cocoa on gastrointestinal transit and sensation.
This trial aims to determine whether Hou Gu Mi Xi is an effective treatment for improving symptoms and indicators in patients with spleen qi deficiency and mild gastrointestinal disorder.
The purpose of the protocol is to demonstrate that Eziclen®/Izinova®, an osmotic sulphate-based laxative preparation given on the day before colonoscopy has non-inferior efficacy to Klean-Prep® (polyethylene glycol (PEG)-electrolytes) on colon cleansing in adolescents aged 12 to 17 years (inclusive) with a body weight >40 kg, scheduled to undergo a colonoscopy for a routinely accepted diagnostic indication.
