Active clinical trials for "Gastrointestinal Diseases"

The purpose of this study is to further evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of 10μg/0.5ml Recombinant Hepatitis B Vaccines(Saccharomyces Cerevisiae) in the Healthy Neonates.

The study aims to investigate if a 7 day therapeutic fasting regimen will affect self-efficacy of patients with chronic diseases the effects of fasting on physical and mental well-being, quality of life and body awareness/image the association between patients characteristics and the perceived health benefit after fasting the association between Diagnosis according to traditional Chinese medicine and physical and mental well-being during the course of fasting experiences and perceptions of patients during fasting therapy

The purpose of this study is to determine the patient preference for a biocompatible thermosensitive solution-gel versus water or saline (liquid) enema. The thermosensitive solution-gel is comprised of poloxamer, an inactive compound that is designated as GRAS (generally recognized as safe) by FDA. It could subsequently be used as a medium for drug delivery. The poloxamer (gel) is administered to study participants in order to assess preference and proximal distribution.

The investigators are inviting people with fibromyalgia, IBS, interstitial cystitis, chronic pain, and other chronic and recurring conditions to sign up and participate in a year-long Internet-based survey to study the effectiveness of alternative medicine and the interactions among stress and coping, pain, and treatment outcomes. The survey is called PROCAIM, which stands for Patient-Reported Outcomes from Complementary, Alternative, and Integrative Medicine. PROCAIM was developed under a grant to UCLA researchers from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. This is a web-based study composed of surveys that will recur at intervals over 1 year! TO ENROLL Log in to our web site: http://www.procaim.org/ Register as a New User. Select clinic name: ClinicalTrials.gov. Read and sign the Consent Form. After participants"sign" the form with their email address, participants can begin to answer the first in a series of questionnaires. The system will send participants email reminders at the time of each scheduled follow-up for one year.

In this observational study, researchers want to gain more information on children suffering from abnormal stomach and intestine function (based on the Rome criteria) and treated Iberogast. The Rome criteria have been developed by experts to support doctors to diagnose stomach and intestine disorders. This study will focus on children aged from 3 to 14 years in age treated by their doctor with the herbal drug Iberogast for their stomach and intestine complaints for one week. Researcher want to learn more about the efficacy of Iberogast by observing the changes of symptoms related to the stomach and intestine disorders. In addition information on the safety of the drug and how well the drug is tolerated by the patients will be collected.

Cow's milk allergy (CMA) is the most common food allergy in early childhood, with an estimated incidence ranging between 2% and 3% in infants and marginally lower in older children. It has been demonstrated that it could be a risk factor for the development of the functional gastrointestinal disorders in children. Intestinal microflora has been indicated as potential target for the management of CMA and FGDIs through the use of probiotics. Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) is the most studied probiotic. Recently, it has been demonstrated that an extensively hydrolyzed casein formula remains hypoallergenic following the addition of LGG, satisfying both the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines. Lactobacillus GG exerts several benefits when added to an extensively hydrolyzed casein formula (Nutramigen LGG), including decreased severity of atopic dermatitis, improved recovery of intestinal symptoms in infants with CMA-induced allergic colitis, and faster induction of tolerance in infants with CMA. The mechanisms of these effects are multiple and exerted at different levels: epithelium, immune system and enteric nervous system. Studies and meta-analyses showed that LGG increases treatment success in children with functional gastrointestinal disorders.

To select among different dietary and clinical conditions the most appropriate to assess the impact of a fermented milk product on gas-related symptoms

To assess the frequency and nature of adverse events in infants fed a free amino acid based infant formula.

The aim of the study is to compare self-reported gastrointestinal symptoms and intestinal fermentation rates of the study products as measured by breath hydrogen and methane in adult population with self-reported mild abdominal sensitivity to pulses. The study products are a pulse products with two different cereals.

The waiting lists for surgery and diagnostic tests registered in the health management area of Campo de Gibraltar West are very high, and this is compounded by the lack of resources that prevent them from being managed efficiently. The aim of the study is to know, quantify and communicate the measurement of the social impact, also known as social return on investment, which is presented as a tool for decision making on the intervention of the management of health concerts in comparison with the current system in Andalucia. In addition, other objectives will be studied, such as the health and non-health benefits derived from applying the intervention of the concerts compared to the current system of waiting list management from the economic, social and environmental points of view, the economic cost of the interventions by the health concerts and the Andalusian public health system, the cost of the increase in extraordinary health resources, determining the most prevalent surgeries from highest to lowest and specifying the highest number of surgeries that are established in the concerts and in the SSPA. The method used will be an economic evaluation of the different healthcare technologies in which the investigators compare the healthcare agreements of the most prevalent procedures and those that collect data in both groups through the SROI tool. A cross-sectional and prospective design will be carried out with a time horizon of 2021 and 2022, and for the statistical analysis the investigators will use the SSPS V25 and JASP programmes. The investigators consider it necessary to carry out this research study as there is no specific bibliography on the healthcare technology used in healthcare agreements as a new healthcare technology compared with the current system for managing surgical waiting lists in the Andalusian public healthcare system in terms of return on investment.
