Clinical Application of Wearable Magnet Tracking System for Capsule Endoscopes

China10 participantsStarted 2023-03-30

Plain-language summary

The investigators developed a wearable magnet tracking system, which provided a non-invasive and high accuracy method for capsule endoscopes localization. Data fusion from multiple sensors expanded positioning range and proposed localization algorithm overcame shortcomings of existing systems. This clinical trial was conducted to verify effectiveness and stability of the tracking system.

Inclusion Criteria: * aged between 18 and 75 * agree to give written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * dysphagia or symptoms of gastric outlet obstruction, suspected or known intestinal stenosis, overt gastrointestinal bleeding, history of upper gastrointestinal surgery or abdominal surgery altering gastrointestinal anatomy, or postabdominal radiation * congestive heart failure, renal insufficiency, under therapeutic anticoagulation, in poor general condition (American Society of Anesthesiologists class III/IV), claustrophobia, metallic parts, a pacemaker or other implanted electromedical devices, or artificial heart valves * pregnancy or suspected pregnancy * exclusion criteria for standard magnetic resonance imaging examination such as the presence of surgical metallic devices, even though its low magnetic field technically would not interferewith such devices * currently participating in another clinical study

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
