RECRUITING Phase 4

Simethicone as Part of ERAS in Bariatric Surgery Patients

NCT06812832 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

By conducting this study, we hope to assess if simethicone (also known as Gas Relief or GasX) has an effect on improving gas pain and bloating specifically in patients undergoing foregut procedures to include bariatric procedures (sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass), hiatal hernia, and gastric surgery. The purpose of this research is to gather information on the safety and effectiveness of simethicone. Simethicone (more commonly known as Gas Relief or Gas-X) relieves pressure, bloating, and fullness commonly referred to as gas. It is FDA approved. The use of this medication in this research study is consistent with labeling indications.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06812832

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06812832 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 4, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 260 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Madigan Army Medical Center, which has 6 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 3 conditions, with Post-operative Pain appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Placebo is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06812832 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Washington. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
