Smarter scheduling may cut colonoscopy pain for High-Risk patients
NCT ID NCT07713953
First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a simple change in scheduling can reduce pain during unsedated colonoscopy. High-risk patients (based on factors like low weight, female sex, or prior surgery) are randomly assigned to either an expert endoscopist with over 5,000 procedures or a routine endoscopist. The goal is to see if expert care lowers the chance of moderate-to-severe pain, potentially making the procedure more tolerable for those who need it most.

- What this could lead to
- If effective, this strategy could make unsedated colonoscopy less painful for high-risk patients, improving their experience and willingness to undergo future screenings.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 106 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention depends on endoscopist expertise, which varies across hospitals.
