Trial summary

Transcutaneous elctroacupuncture(TEA) at ST36 can improve gastrointestinal motility. Therefore,the investigators hypothesized that if TEA is applied to the preparation of small bowel capsule endoscopy, the small bowel peristalsis of patients can be regulated by electrical stimulation at (ST36).

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Transcutaneous Electrical Acustimulation Combined With Polyethylene Glycol-electrolyte on the Quality of Small Bowel Preparation for Capsule Endoscopy

Transcutaneous elctroacupuncture(TEA) at ST36 can improve gastrointestinal motility. Therefore,the investigators hypothesized that if TEA is applied to the preparation of small bowel capsule endoscopy, the small bowel peristalsis of patients can be regulated by electrical stimulation at (ST36). On the one hand, it can be used in combination with compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder, which is conducive to the discharge of small bowel contents and improve the imaging quality. On the other hand, it can improve the diagnostic rate by adjusting the intestinal transit time, And the completion rate of the examination can be improved by accelerating the gastric emptying time of capsule endoscopy.

Therefore, in order to explore the effect of TEA stimulation at ST36 combined with polyethylene glycol powder on preparation for small bowel capsule endoscopy, the investigators designed this study.

Being tested
digital stimulators (SNM-FDC01, Ningbo MaidaMedical Device, Inc, Ningbo, China)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing digital stimulators (SNM-FDC01, Ningbo MaidaMedical Device, Inc, Ningbo, China) in people with Quality of Small Bowel Preparation, run by Shanghai Changzheng Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Wei-Fen Xie, MD. PhD ((86) 21 81886824., weifenxie@medmail.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The rate of "adequate" cleansing of the small intestine (time frame: one year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Oct 2023.
