No more needles or anesthesia: new stool test could detect stomach bug in kids

NCT ID NCT07083804

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study aims to see if a simple stool test can accurately detect Helicobacter pylori infection in children, avoiding the need for an invasive endoscopy under anesthesia. Researchers will compare the stool test results with standard biopsy results in 188 children aged 16 or younger who already need a gastroscopy. If successful, this non-invasive approach could make diagnosis safer and more accessible for kids.
