Could a glass of water replace nasty prep drinks for Crohn's MRI?
NCT ID NCT06690632
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether drinking 1.5 liters of water before an MRI scan can give doctors clear images of the small bowel in people with Crohn's disease, compared to the standard polyethylene glycol (PEG) prep. About 194 participants will be randomly assigned to water or PEG, and researchers will rate bowel distension quality and patient comfort. If water works well, it could make MRI prep much easier for patients.

Active substance
water preparation
What this could lead to
If water works as well as PEG, it could simplify bowel preparation for MRI scans in Crohn's patients, making the process more comfortable and accessible.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial focused on imaging quality, not treatment. Water may not provide adequate bowel distension, and results may not change clinical practice.
