Observational Study on Monitoring NSAID-Induced Gastropathy in Patients Using Magnetically-Controlled Capsule Gastroscopy

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are widely used in all kinds of people in China. A major limitation to their use is the adverse effects they cause on the gastrointestinal tract, including the formation of stomach lesions, ulcers due to stress reactions, and damage to the healing of gastric ulcers. The purpose of this prospective, single-center study was to monitor the gastric mucosal injury in patients with and without NSAIDs using magnetron capsule gastroscopy, and to explore the effect of NSaids on gastric mucosal injury.

For people taking NSAIDs, it is necessary to regularly detect gastric mucosal damage, and timely intervention treatment is required if relevant lesions are found, and the medication plan is adjusted. Magnetron capsule gastroscope has the advantages of comfort, safety, no anesthesia, no risk of cross infection, etc. It is highly accepted by the population, and is a beneficial supplement to traditional gastroscopy, so that some people with absolute or relative contraindications of traditional gastroscopy can get timely endoscopy, and can be diagnosed and treated early.
