COLONOSCOPY

This study tests whether using a computer-aided detection (CAD) system during screening colonoscopy can lower the chance of developing advanced polyps or cancer within 3 years. About 592 adults at risk for colorectal cancer will be randomly assigned to standard colonoscopy or CAD…

This study tests whether mixing an electrolyte beverage with water improves the quality and tolerability of bowel preparation before colonoscopy. 405 adults scheduled for colonoscopy will be randomly assigned to drink polyethylene glycol (PEG) with water only, or with a low or me…

This study tests whether a pre-packaged low-residue nutrition formula (Maifu Changqing®) can improve bowel cleanliness and comfort during colonoscopy preparation for 1,000 adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the s…

This study tests whether a computer algorithm can help doctors give more accurate recommendations for when patients should have their next colonoscopy. Researchers will compare the algorithm's suggestions to traditional methods, looking at both accuracy and the time it takes to m…

This study looks at whether watching a video about how to prepare for a colonoscopy helps people clean their bowels better than just getting written or spoken instructions. About 246 people who have never had a colonoscopy before will take part. The goal is to see if video educat…

This study measures the carbon footprint of colonoscopy, a common procedure for colorectal cancer screening. Researchers will track CO₂ emissions from equipment, energy use, waste, and reprocessing for 150 patients. The goal is to identify ways to reduce the environmental impact …

This study compares two ways of explaining how to prepare for a colonoscopy: a standard oral explanation from a doctor versus watching a video tutorial at home. Researchers want to see if the video leads to better bowel cleanliness, which helps doctors spot polyps more easily. Ab…

This study checks if using specially controlled water in reusable bottles during colonoscopy stays free of bacteria from the patient's gut. Researchers will test water samples after each procedure in 40 adults. If the water remains clean, it could lead to a more eco-friendly and …

This study involves 1,000 adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who need a colonoscopy. Researchers want to see how well current bowel preparation methods work and what factors lead to poor preparation. The goal is to create a tool that predicts which patients might have t…

This study is building a large database of colonoscopy reports and videos from about 1,800 people. The goal is to help train doctors, improve cancer prevention, and support research on new technologies. Participants simply undergo their planned colonoscopy, and their de-identifie…

This study follows 8,000 adults in Denmark who are getting a screening colonoscopy for colorectal cancer. Researchers will ask about pain, discomfort, and overall experience right after the procedure. They will then check if those experiences influence whether people come back fo…
