Overview

This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, double-blind, crossover study involving healthy individuals, aiming to evaluate the stability of oral protein bars + olive oil as a new method for determining gallbladder contraction function and its optimal diagnostic time window.

Description

This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, single-blind, crossover study involving healthy individuals. This study will use a crossover trial method to compare oral fried eggs with oral protein bars + olive oil. Gallbladder ultrasound examinations will be performed at different time points to measure gallbladder volume, and the changes in gallbladder contraction rates at different time points under the two interventions will be calculated to determine the optimal time window for assessing gallbladder contraction function. On the other hand, the investigators will verify the stability of oral protein bars plus olive oil as a new method for measuring gallbladder contraction function, evaluate its reliability and reproducibility across different regions, hospitals, and populations, ensure its wide clinical application, and provide stronger support for the diagnosis and treatment of gallbladder-related diseases.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
