Summary: The objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy and safety of crofelemer treatment in adults affected by Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) with an ileostomy on parenteral support (PS) in reducing output or PS needs. Crofelemer will be provided as a powder three times daily for 12 weeks and a 4 week follow up. .

Summary: The majority of patients (60-70%) develop high levels of anxiety before surgery. Surgical patients may experience feelings of anxiety due to insufficient information and counseling before surgery and potential changes in the body caused by surgery. Fears include (but are not limited to) not waking up from anesthesia, not being able to return to previous work and family life, and adaptation concern...

Summary: Peristomal skin complications (PSCs) are the predominant complication for people living with a stoma, which affect their quality of life negatively. Among the main reasons for developing PSCs are that the peristomal skin is exposed to stomal output either due to leakage of output under the baseplate and/or imperfect cutting of the hole in the baseplate, and incorrect application creating a gap bet...

Summary: This study aims to propose a novel, easy-to-operate intervention strategy that effectively improves defecation function after stoma reversal and to assess its impact on the gut microbiota.The efficacy and safety of antegrade placement of probiotics into the distal deserted intestine during prophylactic stoma to improve bowel function after stoma reversal were evaluated through randomized controlle...

Summary: Individuals with gastrointestinal diseases - such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, ileostomy, or bile acid diarrhoea - are at increased risk of magnesium deficiency. Magnesium is a vital mineral that supports many essential functions in the body, including muscle contraction, nerve signalling, heart rhythm, and bone health. Deficiency may contribute to fatigue, muscle cramps, abnormal heart...

Summary: This research study is being conducted to study the effect of infusing your contents from your ostomy bag back into your intestine to re-train them prior to the ostomy takedown operation, which is a surgery to reverse your ostomy to put your intestine back together. Because your intestine past the ostomy hasn't seen any intestinal content for several weeks to months before the takedown operation, ...

Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, tolerability, and effect on mucosal repair of AZD7798 compared with placebo in participants with active ileal Crohn's disease and an ileostomy.

Summary: To date, patients with Crohn's Disease (CD) and permanent ileostomies have been excluded from clinical trials for new treatments. To allow this patient population to be included in clinical trials, outcome and measurement tools are needed. This study aims to develop a Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) and Endoscopic Index (EI) for patients with Crohn's Disease (CD) and permanent ileostomy. The study ...

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the effect of hot compress application to the intestines during abdominal surgery on postoperative nausea-vomiting and bowel function. Volunteers will be randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups. Initially, 30 patients will be included in each group, and the study will be completed based on the effect size determined by power analysis. Hypotheses: H0: Co...

Summary: This study aims to longitudinally evaluate the usage and long-term benefits of the CE-marked device, Heylo™, a digital leakage notification system for people with intestinal stomas. The system, which includes a smartphone application, an adhesive sensor layer, and a Bluetooth transmitter, notifies users of changes in their baseplate status, potentially reducing stoma effluent leakage and improving...

Summary: Peroral administration is the preferred way of taking medication. However, the special absorption conditions in ostomy patients are generally not addressed in approval studies and there is also little other literature on this topic. These are usually case reports or studies on individual patients or very small patient collectives. For medications with measurable clinical parameters, e.g. blood pre...

Summary: PHaLIR is a prospective, double-blinded randomized study in which patients planned for stoma reversal after rectal cancer surgery are randomized between retro muscular mesh Ultrapro Advanced or standard treatment without mesh.
