Epigastric Pain Retrosternal Pain Esophagitis Gastrointestinal Symptoms |
Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Case Control, Prospective |
Official Title: | Capsaicin-Sensitive Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid One (TRPV1) and Tyrosine Kinase (TrkA) Receptor Expression in Children With Retrosternal Pain |
We are collecting a single mucosal biopsy during an endoscopy procedure.
Estimated Enrollment: | 81 |
Study Start Date: | April 2006 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | April 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Groups/Cohorts |
---|
EXP
Children undergoing an endoscopy for retrosternal chest pain, epigastric pain, regurgitation, heart burn or dyspepsia.
|
CON
Children undergoing an endoscopy for reasons not stated in the experimental group condition (i.e. celiac disease, rectal bleeding, polyps, weight loss, malabsorption).
|
Approximately 5% of children between 10-17 years of age report symptoms of heart burn, epigastric pain or regurgitation. This study will evaluate the changes in nerve innervation and TRPV1 receptor expression in children having upper endoscopy for evaluation of heart burn and abdominal pain.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 5 Years to 17 Years |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
Children undergoing an endoscopy procedure for gastrointestinal symptoms and chest pain or reasons other than those listed in the exclusion criteria.
