What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed

Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

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.
