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.

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.
