An interventional study of magnetic control in Capsule Endoscopy, sponsored by Shandong University. Recruiting at 1 site in China. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-01-08.
Sponsored by Shandong University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
The aim of this study is to evaluate the responsiveness of the capsule endoscope to the attitude controller and to investigate its active locomotion performance within the small bowel.
During the standard air insufflation or water infusion phases of double-balloon enteroscopy, researchers will use a handheld controller to try to steer the capsule. At the same time, the real-time imaging from both the enteroscope and the capsule will be simultaneously monitored to assess the capsule's active movement and its responsiveness to control.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients who are pregnant or lactating. Patients unable or unwilling to provide informed consent.
During the routine air/water insufflation phases of the enteroscopy, the researchers will attempt to guide the capsule's movement using an external magnetic control device.
Device: magnetic control
Intervention: On the day of the examination, the subject will swallow the capsule endoscope. This will be followed by a standard enteroscopy procedure. During the routine air/water insufflation phases of the enteroscopy, the researchers will attempt to guide the capsule's movement using an external magnetic control device.
capsule endoscope's responsiveness to the attitude controller
Excellent: The magnetically controlled capsule endoscope can precisely follow the attitude controller to move to the target area. Moderate: The magnetically controlled capsule endoscope can follow the attitude controller's movement, but cannot be accurately guided to the target area. Poor: There are signs of magnetic attraction, but the capsule does not follow the movement of the attitude controller.
Time frame: During performing double-balloon enteroscope
