NCT ID NCT07271303
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a capsule form of hyoscine butylbromide (Buscopan) can reduce stomach and intestinal movements during painless gastrointestinal endoscopy, potentially improving the doctor's view and procedure accuracy. The trial will involve 74 adults scheduled for upper endoscopy, comparing the drug to a placebo. The main goal is to see if the pill reduces peristalsis (natural gut movements) without the need for injections.
