All recruiting trials (10)

• High bile-binding foods to reduce bile acids in the upper digestive tract

  This test will see if different gastrostomy tube feeds—a standard amino acid formula, a low bile‑binding blended feed, or a high bile‑binding blended feed—lower bile acid levels in the stomach and saliva of people who get most of their nutrition through a gastrostomy.

  Recruiting Phase 4 Boston Children's Hospital · Boston, Massachusetts · NCT07303738

• EOI block to reduce pain during pediatric laparoscopic gastrostomy

  This trial will test whether an ultrasound-guided external oblique intercostal (EOI) block with ropivacaine reduces pain during and after laparoscopic gastrostomy in children aged 3 to 18.

  Recruiting Seoul National University Hospital · Seoul · NCT07119346

• Nasopharyngeal airway plus high-flow nasal oxygen during painless gastroscopy for people with obesity

  This will test whether using a nasopharyngeal airway together with high-flow nasal oxygen keeps oxygen levels safer for adults with obesity during sedated (painless) gastroscopy.

  Recruiting Nanjing First Hospital, Nanjing Medical University · Nanjing · NCT06966934

• Comparing stapler reinforcement patches to standard staplers in gastrojejunostomy procedures

  This study tests if using special patches with staplers during gastric cancer surgery can help prevent complications like leaks compared to regular staplers.

  Recruiting Nanchong Central Hospital · Nanchong, Sichuan · NCT06464978

• Using ultrasound to check gastrostomy tube position

  This study is testing if using ultrasound to check the position of gastrostomy tubes in kids is just as good and faster than the usual method called fluoroscopy.

  Recruiting University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill · Chapel Hill, North Carolina · NCT06361498

• Glutamine supplementation for gastric cancer patients after surgery

  This study is testing if taking glutamine can help gastric cancer patients recover better after surgery by improving their muscle strength and overall health.

  Recruiting National Taiwan University Hospital · Taipei · NCT06027242

• New ultrasound technique for placing feeding tubes in children

  This study is testing a new ultrasound device to see if it can help safely place feeding tubes in children without using radiation.

  Recruiting at 3 sites CoapTech · Washington D.C., District of Columbia and 2 other locations · NCT05966311

• Evaluating pain after percutaneous radiologic gastrostomy placement

  This study is trying to see how much abdominal pain people have after getting a feeding tube placed and what factors might affect their pain over the next year.

  Recruiting Centre Hospitalier de Valence · Valence · NCT05618392

• Comparing minimally invasive surgeries for stomach cancer

  This study is testing whether a less invasive stomach surgery helps people with stomach cancer feel better and maintain their appetite compared to a more extensive surgery.

  Recruiting at 3 sites M.D. Anderson Cancer Center · Rochester, Minnesota and 3 other locations · NCT05205343

• Testing a new skin disk for feeding tubes

  This study is testing a new adjustable skin disk for feeding tubes to see if it helps people heal better and have fewer problems than the standard option.

  Recruiting Mayo Clinic · Rochester, Minnesota · NCT03959878

NIH-funded research (1)

Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.

• Ultrasound-guided pediatric G-tube device to improve safety and ease of use

  A new ultrasound-guided G-tube system for children aims to make feeding-tube placement safer, quicker, and easier by reducing radiation and avoiding traditional operating rooms.
