Hospital colonoscopy showdown: Low-Volume prep may be easier on patients
NCT ID NCT05054036
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a low-volume bowel prep (MoviPrep) works as well as a high-volume one (GoLYTELY) in hospitalized patients getting a colonoscopy. The goal was to see if the low-volume option is better tolerated while still cleaning the bowel adequately. 520 hospitalized adults took part, and the results could help make colonoscopy prep easier for sicker patients.
