ENDOSCOPY

This study checks if a tiny tissue sample taken during a scope (endoscopic biopsy) is as good as a larger sample from surgery for diagnosing stomach cancer. It looks at cancer type, grade, and key markers like HER-2 and MSI. The goal is to see if the less invasive biopsy can repl…

This study tests whether attaching a small cap to the endoscope helps doctors find and treat the source of upper stomach bleeding more quickly. About 72 adults with severe bleeding will be randomly assigned to standard endoscopy or cap-assisted endoscopy. The goal is to see if th…

This study looks at whether using a virtual reality headset (like Apple Vision Pro) during endoscopy can reduce physical strain on doctors. About 140 procedures will be done with the headset, and researchers will measure posture and movement to see if it lowers injury risk. The g…

This study looks at children with tracheostomies to see if symptoms noticed by parents or doctors can predict serious airway problems. Researchers will compare symptoms reported before a routine scope exam with what the scope actually finds. The goal is to understand how often co…

This study tests an artificial intelligence system that helps doctors detect and grade early precancerous changes in the stomach lining during an endoscopy. Researchers will enroll 3,000 adults aged 40-75 to see if the AI can accurately score the extent of these changes. The goal…

This study looks at whether intensive, immersive training for doctors learning endoscopy (a procedure to look inside the body) is better and more cost-effective than standard training. Researchers will follow 200 trainees to compare their skill improvement, confidence, and how qu…
