Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of trimebutine and probiotics in treating Functional Abdominal Pain Disorders (FAPD) in a pediatric population. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is trimebutine effective in reducing the symptoms of FAPD in children? Are probiotics effective in reducing the symptoms of FAPD in children? Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups (trimebutine/probiotics, probiotics/placebo, or trimebutine/placebo). Undergo measurements for pain and other relevant metrics at the start of the study, after 4 weeks, and after 8 weeks. Researchers will compare the trimebutine/probiotics group to the probiotics/placebo and the trimebutine/placebo groups to see if there are significant differences in the efficacy of these treatments in reducing symptoms of FAPD in children.
The purpose of this study is to determine if virtual reality (VR) will improve symptoms in non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP).
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effect on the microbiota and the reduction in the number and/or intensity of symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort of consuming a probiotic or placebo for 6 weeks in adult women and men. The main questions to answer are: 1. To study changes in the alpha diversity of the microbiota. 2. To evaluate changes in the salivary cortisol. For this purpose, a randomized, double blind crossover study has been designed. Target sample size is 30 subjects. Participants will be allocated in two groups for 16 weeks (6 weeks consuming one of the products + 4 weeks wash-out period + 6 weeks consuming the other product). - Group 1 (n=15): 6 weeks daily consumption of one probiotic capsule + 4 weeks wash-out period+ 6 weeks daily consumption of one placebo capsule. - Group 2 (n=15): 6 weeks daily consumption of one placebo capsule + 4 weeks wash-out period+ 6 weeks daily consumption of one probiotic capsule.
We plan the study to explore the application of endoscopic laser speckle imaging and multispectral blood oxygen imaging to observe gastrointestinal lesions, as well as the differences in the morphology, density and functional status of mucosal surfaces and deep blood vessels of different gastrointestinal lesions, also to explore the role of endoscopic multimodal functional imaging in common gastrointestinal diseases, especially in the early diagnosis of gastrointestinal tumors.
The aim of GENESIS clinical study is to map the HLA genomic region in the Greek population and evaluate possible correlations with selected underlying diseases.
We will sample intestinal microbiota using a microbiome sampling capsule in Healthy, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and Functional Gastrointestinal Disease.
The exploration of the safety and efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation in the treatment of non-digestive system diseases associated with gastrointestinal symptoms in the gastrointestinal tract, while also investigating the impact of fecal microbiota transplantation on the intestinal system, and assessing the improvement of symptoms in other systems.Simultaneously optimizing the conditions during the FMT process, identifying the most effective treatment methods to enhance the therapeutic outcomes of FMT.
Patients with disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI) often present gastrointestinal symptoms that do not show noticeable irregularities in standard examinations. However, due to unclear causes and a high prevalence rate, this condition often exerts a profound impact on the physical and mental health of patients. The scope of DGBI encompasses conditions such as laryngopharyngeal reflux, functional dyspepsia, and irritable bowel syndrome. Previous research has confirmed that in patients with DGBI, their autonomic nervous system exhibits an imbalance, charact erized by decreased parasympathetic activity and dominant sympathetic activity. Diaphragmatic breathing helps reduce the respiratory rate and can stimulate parasympathetic activity while suppressing sympathetic activity. Hence, it is now officially recommended as an effective adjunct therapy for relieving symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux. Accordingly, this study plans to implement a randomized controlled trial, introducing diaphragmatic breathing to patients with DGBI who exhibit normal results in objective examinations. This work allows evaluate changes in their psychophysical symptoms before and after treatment, as well as alterations in the autonomic nervous system .
This study plans to learn if the EvoEndo Endoscopy system can be used to evaluate, provide and follow up care for upper gastrointestinal tract diseases in the bariatric population. The smallest current scope available for such a technique is an adult transnasal endoscope with a larger diameter, a pulmonary bronchoscope or Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) laryngoscope. This study is evaluating a newly Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared ultra-slim, single-use, endoscope specifically designed for transnasal endoscopy to evaluate its use in adult upper tract gastrointestinal diseases. If such a technique is successful it could improve the safety, cost, and access of endoscopic care for patients in need of an endoscopic evaluation for a bariatric medical condition.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the gastro-intestinal biopotentials recorded with a homemade device using surface electrodes placed on the abdomen in healthy volunteers, Crohn's disease patients without fibrosis, Crohn's disease patients with fibrosis and in functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) patients. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is there any differences in the gastro-intestinal biopotentials between the different populations under study? It aims to answer two secondary questions: - Are the gastro-intestinal biopotentials comparable to the Harvey-Bradshaw Index, MRI and biological data for patients with Crohn's disease? - Are the gastro-intestinal biopotentials comparable to Rome IV criteria for functional gastrointestinal disorders patients? Participants will undertake two recordings made with the device. The first one will last 1 hour and 30 minutes and will occurs while the participants are fasting. Then, the participants will eat a standardized meal. Finally, the second recording will take place after the meal ingestion and will last 1 hour and 30 minutes while the participants are in postprandial state.
