Nail camera may unlock secrets of rare stomach disorder
NCT ID NCT07127952
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a special microscope test of the fingernail folds (capillaroscopy) can help tell apart people who have a rare stomach condition called GAVE along with an autoimmune disease from those who have GAVE for other reasons. Researchers will compare the nail findings in 75 adults already diagnosed with GAVE. The goal is to better understand the condition, not to test a new treatment.
