Examination of the usefulness and safety of a self-propelling capsule endoscope for observing the digestive tract
- Conditions
- screening
- Registration Number
- JPRN-UMIN000027805
- Lead Sponsor
- Osaka Medical College, Second Department of Internal Medicine
- Brief Summary
To resolve the problems associated with the existing self-propelling capsule endoscope, it may be necessary to not only improve the capsule endoscopes, but also to control the environment within the gastrointestinal tract with medications and other means. Our results could guide other researchers in developing capsule endoscopes controllable from outside the body, thus allowing real-time observation.
