Active clinical trials for "Digestive System Diseases"

This study is aimed at investigating the efficacy of placebo for symptom relief in children with abdominal pain related functional gastrointestinal disorders.

Functional abdominal pain (FAP), a pediatric pain condition without significant organic pathology, is a precursor to chronic pain and high healthcare utilization in young adulthood. This project aims to identify child and family characteristics that predict differential responses to a Cognitive Behavior Therapy intervention administered online to patients with FAP and their parents. The goal is to acquire scientific knowledge to guide individualized treatment of patients with FAP.

This pilot-study aims to evaluate the treatment effects and feasibility of an internet-delivered CBT-program adjusted for adolescents with functional abdominal pain and functional dyspepsia.

This is a randomized open-label, three-arm, phase 1 clinical study. The investigators aim to investigate a Chinese Proprietary Medicine, MZRW on its tolerability, system exposure and pharmacokinetics profile.

The purpose of this interventional study is to test and compare the effectiveness of two elimination diets-the 1-food elimination diet (1FED, milk only) and the 6-food elimination diet (6FED, milk, egg, wheat, soy, tree nut/peanuts, and fish/shellfish). The study will also test the effectiveness of swallowed glucocorticoid therapy in some of the study participants for whom diet therapy was not effective.

The purpose of this study was to determine which treatment strategy, the step-up or the step-down treatment strategy, is the most cost-effective treatment for patients with new onset dyspepsia in primary care.

The purpose of the trial is to develop a treatment protocol to be used in trials studying internet-delivered CBT for children with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID). The study size is not based on power calculations but the estimated sample necessary to develop a treatment protocol. This study will include 20-30 children with FGID and their parents who will be treated individually (face-to-face). The treatment consists of 10 weekly sessions of exposure-based CBT. The study uses a pre- post-design with no control group.

The objective of this study is to determine the safe use and tolerance of a peptide-based formula in children with gastrointestinal dysfunction and/or feeding intolerance.

In this single-center, randomized, parallel control clinical trial, patients will be randomly assigned to two groups. The treatment group receives ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block with routine treatment of Acute Gastrointestinal Injury (AGI) for 7 days or until transferred to the general ward, while the control group only receives routine treatment of AGI. The primary outcome is the cure and remission rate of AGI.

In patients who are receiving intravenous high dose Interleukin-2, patients will be randomized into two groups: group one will receive nystatin swish and swallow immediately before initiation of IL-2, and the second group will receive a placebo. The patients in each group will be monitored and evaluated for differences in the rate and severity of development of oral irritation during treatment. They will also be studied for differences between the two groups in the number of doses of IL-2 taken.
