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.
