Biomechanical Factors During ERCP for Digestive Specialists

Official title: Evaluation of Biomechanical Forced During the Practice of Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography

Run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens · NCT07691580 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests how ERCP practitioners experience biomechanical stress during the procedure to see if adjustments to equipment or setup can reduce strain.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adult hepatogastroenterologists actively performing ERCP who consent to participate.

Probably not a fit

Participants may not experience a personal benefit if ergonomic changes do not reduce biomechanical load.

What this trial studies

This interventional study will evaluate the biomechanical forces experienced by gastroenterologists during ERCP while using the CAPTIV system. The aim is to identify how factors like patient positioning, screen height, and weight-bearing load contribute to musculoskeletal strain. Data will be collected on ergonomic setup and practitioner comfort to inform best practices. The study builds on retrospective findings of higher MSD risk in related procedures and aims to translate recommendations into ERCP workflows. It is being conducted at multiple French centers led by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire d'Amiens and collaborators.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the study could lead to reduced practitioner discomfort and fewer work-related musculoskeletal injuries during ERCP.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies in surgical and radiological fields have linked ergonomic adjustments to reduced strain, supporting potential benefits for ERCP with a similar approach.
