A Study for Imaging the Lower Gastrointestinal Tract Using a Retro-TCE Capsule
NCT07219537
This study is recruiting at 1 US site in 1 state, according to its ClinicalTrials.gov record last updated .
Summary
The investigators have developed an inexpensive tool to take pictures in the lower GI tract without sedation and to look for signs of disease. The tool is a capsule, about the size of a fish oil or multi-vitamin supplement, attached to a string. The capsule and string are connected to a motor to allow the capsule to advance up the participant's lower GI tract. The capsule will be inserted into the participant's lower GI tract and advance upward via a slow spiral motion. The capsule is connected to an imaging system that saves and displays the images in real time.
