Comparison of Gastrointestinal Motility in Healthy Children and Children With Constipation
Comparison of Gastrointestinal Motility in Healthy Children and Children With Constipation
To gain a better understanding of the underlying dysmotility in constipation in children, we will use a novel minimal invasive method called 3D Transit. We will examine four groups of children aged 7 to 17 years: healthy children, chronically constipated children (ROM IV criteria), children with neurofibromatosis type 1 and finally children receiving chemotherapy (vincristin) for acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Inclusion Criteria applicable to all participants:
• Children between 7-17 years of age where permission is granted for the participation by habitable parents with custody of the child. In case of joint custody, permission must be obtained from both parents.
Inclusion criteria applicable only to healthy participants:
• Gastrointestinal healthy children without chronic constipation
Inclusion criteria applicable only to constipated participants:
• Chronic constipation defined by Rom IV criteria, which is a diagnostic score for chronic constipation
Inclusion criteria applicable only to children in vincristine treatment:
• Children with cancer in treatment with vincristine
Inclusion criteria applicable only to patients with NF1:
• Diagnosis of NF1 with gastrointestinal symptoms
