Pill-Sized camera reveals hidden stomach damage from common painkillers
NCT ID NCT06027060
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses a magnetically-controlled capsule (a tiny camera you swallow) to look at stomach damage caused by long-term use of NSAID painkillers like ibuprofen. Researchers will compare stomach images from 180 people who take NSAIDs with those who don't. The goal is to better understand how these common drugs harm the stomach lining.
