This study is to determine if the auricular microstimulator produces the expected increase in HRV.
Dyspepsia refers to chronic or recurrent upper gastrointestinal symptoms. According to the Rome IV criteria, functional dyspepsia (FD) symptoms included meal-related fullness, early satiation, epigastric pain or burning which are unexplained after routine investigation. FD causes substantial psychophysical burden because of its unknown etiology and high prevalence. Although FD is currently associated with local inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and microbiota alteration, current available treatments for FD are of limited effectiveness. In view of this, many studies have applied Chinese herbal medicine in FD and achieved some therapeutic benefit. The Jing Si Herbal Tea composed of eight native Taiwanese herbs (wormwood, hickory grass, Ophiopogon japonicus, houttuynia cordata, platycodon, licorice, perilla leaves, chrysanthemum) has obtained a special export license from the Ministry of Health and Welfare. The Jing Si Herbal Tea also has been registered in clinical trials as a complementary treatment for COVID-19. The preliminary data demonstrated that the Jing Si Herbal Tea may improve gastrointestinal symptoms and anxiety in patients with COVID-19. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the impact of the Jing Si Herbal Tea on psychophysical burden and metabolites of microbiota in patients with FD through a double-blind randomized manner.
There is a high prevalence of FGID among infants : 30 % for regurgitations, 20 % for colitis , 15 % for functional constipation.This represents a frequent motive for pediatrics consultation : 23 to 28 % of medical consultations in this population are consequent to gastrointestinal symptoms among infants aged under 4 months old. This can lead to numerous inappropriate or unrecommended medication prescriptions. Currently, fecal calprotectin threshold are only validated by science societies for children aged 5 years old and more. This study aims to quantify the difference of fecal calprotectin between a population of infants for whom no FGID has been finally detected, and a population of infants for whom FGID have been detected during the gastro-pediatrics consultation, , in order to later determine wether it is possible to validate a threshold in a population of infants aged under 4 months old.
This clinical trial was prospective, randomized, single-blind, 3-treatment arm, parallel treatment group, and active-controlled. , Multi-center, Phase 3 confirmatory clinical trial.
This study is designed to evaluate if pediatric patients who are undergoing a bowel preparation in anticipation of a colonoscopy may be able to take in a low fiber diet instead of a standard, clear liquid diet, while still accomplishing an adequate bowel prep.
The goal of this study is to learn about the effect of olive leaf tea (OLT) in patients with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth aging from 18 to 60 years old. This study aims to answer the following questions: - Will OLT consumption help decrease severity of gastrointestinal signs and symptoms - Will OLT help normalize the intestinal methane and hydrogen gases levels measured by glucose breath test - Does olive leaf tea have an effect on body composition parameters including weight, muscle mass and fat mass Participants with complain of gastrointestinal symptoms like abdominal gas, constipation, diarrhea etc. will undergo glucose breath test(GBT). Participants with diagnosed SIBO by GBT will randomly assigned to two groups. Group A will take the olive leaf tea(1.8g leave powder /tea bag) twice/day after meals for the duration of 2 months. Group B (control group) will not take olive leaf tea. For both groups Symptomatic questionnaire, Glucose breath test, Body composition by InBody analyzer 270 and 24-hour dietary recall will be taken. Researcher will compare readings of group A and Group B taken at Baseline and after 2 months of intervention to assess the effect of Olive leaf tea
The goal of this observational study is to study the emergency surgical treatment of diverticular disease in Sweden outside clinical trials. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Which is the preferred surgical method of acute diverticular disease in Sweden? - Which are the short and long-term outcomes of the different surgical methods? Researchers will compare the different methods to see if there is a surgical operation that is superior for the treatment of acute diverticulitis.
Study purpose: to explore the entire spectrum of proteomic and genomic changes (amongst others) involved in diseases and in healthy/control populations. The Study is designed to discover biomarkers, develop and validate diagnostic assays, instruments and therapeutics as well as other medical research. Specifically, researchers may analyze proteins, RNA, DNA copy number changes, including large and small (1,000-100,000 kb) scale rearrangements, transcription profiles, epigenetic modifications, sequence variation, and sequence in both diseased tissue and case-matched germline DNA from Subjects.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about gastric myoelectric activity in children with GI symptoms. The main question it aims to answer is which patterns or signals are associated with GI symptoms as measured by a body surface gastric mapping (BSGM) device. Participants will have their stomach activity recorded for up to 4 hours using the BSGM device and log real-time symptoms. Researchers will compare the recordings of healthy children and children with GI symptoms to define abnormal GI patterns.
