Active Locomotion of Magnetically Controlled Capsule Endoscopy in the Small Bowel: A Feasibility Study
Active Locomotion of Magnetically Controlled Capsule Endoscopy With Small Bowel Insufflation or Water Infusion: A Feasibility Study
Shandong University
15 participants
Dec 1, 2025
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
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.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria1
- Patients scheduled to undergo enteroscopy.
Exclusion Criteria2
- Patients with severe dysfunction of vital organs (e.g., heart, lungs). Patients with small bowel obstruction precluding adequate bowel preparation. Patients with a history of multiple abdominal surgeries. Patients with implanted devices such as cardiac pacemakers or metal implants. Patients with other high-risk conditions or lesions (e.g., moderate-to-severe esophagogastric varices, massive ascites).
- Patients who are pregnant or lactating. Patients unable or unwilling to provide informed consent.

Interventions
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.
