New study aims to uncover hidden causes of adult bowel blockage
NCT ID NCT07238166
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will look at 35 adults with a bowel condition called intussusception, where one part of the intestine slides into another. Researchers want to find out how often the cause is harmless (like a benign growth) versus serious (like cancer). They will also check how well imaging scans predict the cause and track patient recovery after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- surgical resection and histopathological examination
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors better distinguish between benign and malignant causes of adult intussusception, leading to more accurate diagnoses and tailored treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center observational study with only 35 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It does not test a new treatment, so direct patient benefits are limited.
