NCT ID: NCT04068480 Recruiting - Esophageal Diseases Clinical Trials

Esophageal and Gastric Diseases With Robotically Controlled Magnetic Capsule Endoscopy

MACEOES
Start date: November 15, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCCE) is an outstanding opportunity for the painless endoscopic screening of the esophagus and stomach before small bowel examiantion. Further improvement in patients positioning might increase the esophageal transit time of the capsule endoscope and could improve the sensitivity and specificity of the esophageal MCCE investigation. Our present study aimed to compare the visualization of the esophagus (especially the Z-line) with different capsule swallowing protocols.

NCT ID: NCT03166605 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Video Capsule Endoscopy

Ingestion of Simethicone After Capsule Ingestion and Its Impact on Quality of Video Capsule Endoscopy- a Pilot Study

Start date: May 3, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Wireless video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is a non-invasive technology that looks into small intestine and gives images of its lumen as the wireless capsule passes through it. It is used widely to access this anatomically difficult part of the body that cannot be seen via either colonoscopy or endoscopy. Currently various studies have been done that give multiple comparisons between various bowel preparation in terms of quality of the small bowel visualization. No studies have been done where simethicone (Gas-X) is ingested after capsule swallowing. We intend to give patients simethicone 1 hour after capsule ingestion for two consecutive hours and compare results of capsule endoscopy outcomes like small bowel transit time (SBTT), diagnostic yield (DY), small bowel visualization quality (SBVQ) and completion rate (CR).
