Comparing two ways to give sedation for upper endoscopy
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial is testing if giving propofol sedation in small bursts or as a steady drip works better for people having an upper endoscopy (a camera down the throat). The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to help you stay comfortable during the procedure.
