Feasibility of a Wireless Thermal Capsule Endoscopy to Detect Gastrointestinal Thermal Variance


Sponsor

Massachusetts General Hospital

Enrollment

10 participants

Start Date

Jun 3, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this research is to learn how a new device called the wireless thermal capsule (WTC) can collect thermal data to help see diseases that happen in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, such as Crohn's Disease.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 75 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests a new wireless capsule you swallow that measures temperature changes inside your digestive tract — to see if temperature readings can help detect bowel health issues. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 18 and 75 years old - You are generally healthy with no known illnesses - You are able to fast before the test - You can follow bowel preparation instructions - You can provide informed consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are older than 75 - You have trouble swallowing - You have a bowel condition that could cause the capsule to get stuck (like Crohn's disease, bowel strictures, or prior bowel surgery) - You have a pacemaker or similar implanted device Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
