Ultrasound-Guided timing may improve colonoscopy cleanliness
NCT ID NCT06111937
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 148 patients having a painless colonoscopy. Researchers used ultrasound to check when the stomach was empty after drinking a bowel-cleansing solution. They compared doing the colonoscopy within 2 hours versus waiting 2-4 hours after the stomach emptied. The goal was to see which timing gave a cleaner bowel for better exam results.
