Active clinical trials for "Digestive System Diseases"

The effect of SMS follow-up on drug compliance and efficacy in patients with FGIDs has not been reported in the literature. We, therefore, conducted a prospective randomized controlled trial to investigate whether SMS follow-up could improve treatment adherence in patients with FGIDs, which in turn would help symptom relief and improve treatment outcomes.

Acute pancreatitis is the most common and feared complication of ERCP, occurring after 1% to 30% of procedures. Since 2012, a multicenter RCT was published in NEJM, indomethacin use in high risk patients was considered a "standard" method to prevent PEP. However, the risk factors of PEP is not fully clear. Additionally, the complication of NSAID use lead to some serious physical problem bleeding. Therefore, the exclusive criteria for limiting the NSAID use is including allergy， gastrointestinal haemorrhage ，presence of coagulopathy or received anticoagulation therapy. Previous study showed that another natural compound, resveratrol, owns similar biological effect with NSAID. Firstly, it could inhibit the inflammatory response on in vivo model through inhibition of COX and IL-6 etc. Secondly, it could not influence the level of platelet and coagulation, which means safer than NSAID. Thirdly, numerous studies showed that resveratrol could effectively the progression of severe acute pancreatitis. According to data, we design the project. The purpose of this study is to determine whether oral resveratrol pre-ERCP is effective on control of Post-ERCP pancreatitis.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect and safety of Tripterygium Glycosides in the treatment of Crohn's disease for induction remission and compare the therapeutic effect with patients who received mesalazine.

Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is currently the most effective method for end-stage liver diseases. However, the critical shortage of donor organs, high cost, and the problem of immune rejection limit its clinical application, and even some patients on the waiting list will never survive to receive a matched liver. Stem cell transplantation instead of conventional medical therapy or orthotopic liver transplantation will be a promising alternate approach to regenerate damaged hepatic mass. Adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are generally thought of as an autologous source of regenerative cells in previous studies.In this study, the safety and efficacy of menstrual blood-derived stem cells transplantation for patients with liver cirrhosis will be evaluated.

SSc-associated gastrointestinal (GI) involvement is common, with no effective treatment. Probiotics may have beneficial effects on symptoms as supported by one small open-label study (n=10) that demonstrated decreased bloating symptoms in SSc patients after 2 months of probiotics. This study aims to determine (i) whether 60 days of Vivomixx probiotics result in greater GI symptom improvement than placebo in SSc outpatients, assessed using an interview-administered 34-item Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT) questionnaire and (ii) whether 60 days versus 120 days of probiotics result in greater GI symptom improvement in SSc outpatients, assessed using the GIT questionnaire.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study in human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQ 2.5+ adults with celiac disease (CeD).

The primary objective of this multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the bowel cleansing after Pure-Vu use in outpatient subjects at high risk for inadequate colon preparation as compare to standard of care.

This study is a prospective randomized controlled trial evaluating the use of a fluorescent dye, indocyanine green (ICG), in the identification of important bile duct anatomy during emergent same-admission cholecystectomy. Participants will be randomized into either the control arm, which uses the standard of care white light during laparoscopy or the intervention arm, which will use ICG fluorescent cholangiography as an adjunct to white light to visualize the biliary anatomy. The investigators hypothesize that the use of fluorescent cholangiography will increase the rates of identification of important biliary anatomy during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The effectiveness, feasibility, and safety will be compared between the two groups using a post-operative survey form the surgeons will complete prior to exiting the operating room.

In this study, the investigators proposed an artificial intelligence-based biliary stricture navigation system in MRCP-based ERCP, which can instruct the direction of guide wire and the position of stent placement in real time.

The purpose of this study is to determine if human immunoglobulin given by mouth twice a day is effective in treating the persistent gastrointestinal (GI) problems such as diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and bloating, in children with autism.
