NCT ID NCT06514989

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 32 times

Summary

This study tested whether a low-residue nutrition powder, taken instead of a low-fiber diet, could allow people to use less bowel-cleansing liquid (2 liters instead of 3) before a colonoscopy. Over 750 adults participated. The goal was to see if the new approach cleaned the bowel just as well while causing fewer side effects like bloating or nausea.
