Nose tube test aims to sniff out 'Leaky Gut'

NCT ID NCT04565821

Summary

This study is testing a new tool—a thin probe inserted through the nose—to measure the health of the gut lining. Researchers want to see if this device can safely and accurately detect changes in 'gut permeability,' which is linked to conditions like Crohn's disease. The study involves 15 healthy volunteers to check if the device works as intended before it might be used to help diagnose patients.
