What clinical studies for intestinal pseudo-obstruction are looking for participants?

You can find clinical studies on intestinal pseudo-obstruction at ClinicalTrials.gov. In addition to searching for federally funded studies, you can expand or narrow your search to include clinical studies from industry, universities, and individuals; however, the National Institutes of Health does not review these studies and cannot ensure they are safe. Always talk with your health care provider before you participate in a clinical study.
