About this study
The purpose of this study is to look at the electrical activity present in healthy and diseased smooth muscle of the intestines; and develop both mathematical and computer models.
Read the detailed description
The Superconducting QUantum Interference Device (SQUID)is a large cylinder machine located in a large shielded room that measures magnetic activity of the intestines. Subjects will be asked to lie underneath and get recordings of the electrical activity of their intestines. They will also be asked to have a CT scan done. From these two procedures, the mathematical and computer models will be developed to determine the difference between normal bowels and those that do not have adequate blood supply.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Good blood flow | Group without ischemia to the small intestine | |
| Poor blood flow | Groups that have partial ischemia to their small intestine |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
To observe a difference in the electrical activity between normal and diseased smooth muscle of the intestines.
Measured: 2011
Secondary outcomes (1)
To create both mathematical and computer models of the electrical activity of the intestines.
Measured: 2011

Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
To observe a difference in the electrical activity between normal and diseased smooth muscle of the intestines. (time frame: 2011). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Apr 2017.
