Doctors under pressure: study gauges muscle strain during delicate cancer removal
NCT ID NCT06549894
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at the physical forces on doctors' muscles while they perform endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), a long procedure to remove early-stage digestive cancers. Researchers will measure muscle angles in 10 gastroenterologists during ESD to understand why many endoscopists develop hand, wrist, and neck pain. The goal is to gather data that could lead to better ergonomic recommendations and reduce injury risk.
