Wake up faster after colonoscopy: new study tests early sedation stop
NCT ID NCT07168135
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether stopping the sedative propofol right after the colonoscope reaches the end of the large intestine (cecum) helps patients recover their thinking and movement faster after the procedure. About 100 adults having routine colonoscopy will be randomly assigned to either stop propofol early or continue it as usual. The goal is to see if this change shortens recovery time without making the procedure uncomfortable.
