NCT ID NCT07206329
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compared two low-volume bowel preparations for capsule endoscopy, a less invasive alternative to traditional colonoscopy. 220 adults were randomly assigned to take either a 1-liter polyethylene glycol plus ascorbic acid solution or sodium picosulfate with magnesium citrate. The goal was to see which one cleans the bowel better and is easier for patients to tolerate.
