Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) is a non-invasive method for visualising the colon, but its clinical adoption has been slow. Although the COVID-19 pandemic reignited interest in CCE, its role in conventional gastrointestinal investigations remains unclear, leading to varied practices across Europe. This highlights the need for a comprehensive understanding of diverse approaches to CCE in clinical practice.

Conventional endoscopy is limited in its ability to examine the small bowel and perform long-term monitoring due to the risk of infection and tissue perforation. Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) is a painless and non-invasive method of examining the body's internal organs using a small camera that is swallowed like a pill. The existing active locomotion technologies do not have a practical localization system to control the capsule's movement within the body.

Aliment Pharmacol Ther
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology, East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, Hertfordshire, UK.
Background: Acid reflux is a common presentation in primary care leading to a high volume of referrals to endoscopy that are often normal.
Aims: To determine whether a non-endoscopic capsule sponge biomarker test could triage patients with low-risk reflux symptoms, reduce endoscopy waiting lists and identify Barrett's oesophagus in a real-world setting.
Methods: Patients with reflux symptoms on NHS endoscopy waiting lists who were offered a capsule sponge (test group) between February 2021 and August 2022 were included in this national multicentre prospective cohort study and compared with eligible patients on the standard endoscopy pathway (counterfactual group).
Efficacy and safety of LiWei capsule in chronic non-atrophic gastritis with erosions: a randomized controlled trial.

General Hospital of Northern Theater Command, No.83 Cultural Road, Shenhe District, Shenyang, 110016, Liaoning, China.
To assess the efficacy and safety of LiWei Capsule (LWC) in the treatment of chronic non-atrophic gastritis (CNG) with erosions and damp-heat stasis syndrome, based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles. This phase II, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo- and positive-controlled trial enrolled patients diagnosed with CNG with erosions and damp-heat stasis syndrome. Participants were allocated to LWC, Sanjiu Weitai Capsule (SJWT, positive control), and placebo groups (2:1:1 ratio) and received corresponding treatment for 4 weeks, followed by a 16-week follow-up.
