First seen Jan 19, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study tests whether two new imaging devices—a tethered capsule and a thin nasal probe—can safely and comfortably take pictures of the small intestine in children with Environmental Enteric Dysfunction (EED), a gut condition linked to malnutrition. About 170 children and adults in Pakistan will participate. The goal is to see if these tools work well and are tolerated, not to treat the disease.
