Smartphone videos may beat pamphlets for colonoscopy prep
NCT ID NCT07685652
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial tests whether a short video watched on a smartphone helps people prepare better for a colonoscopy than a written pamphlet or standard verbal instructions. Poor bowel preparation can lead to cancelled procedures and missed polyps. The study enrolls adults scheduled for an outpatient colonoscopy and measures how clean the bowel is using a standard scoring system.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If one method clearly improves bowel preparation, hospitals could adopt it to reduce cancelled procedures and missed polyps.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center study with 324 participants, so results may not apply everywhere. The video requires a smartphone, which not everyone has.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
