Using clean water during colonoscopy to reduce infection risk
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using water that is tested for bacteria during a colonoscopy can reduce the risk of infection. It may help make the procedure safer for you.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether the pH (acidity) of water you drink during bowel preparation affects how clean your colon is for a colonoscopy. If you are preparing with standard laxatives, you may be asked to use water with a specific pH to see if it helps improve cleansing.
This trial tests a new colon-cleansing solution used before a colonoscopy to see if it improves how well doctors can see the colon. It may help make the exam more thorough and comfortable.
This study tests a new approach to make colonoscopy easier and more comfortable by using water, carbon dioxide gas, and a soft belly compression device instead of the standard air. The goal is to help patients need less manual pushing from the doctor during the procedure.
This study tests a new irrigation solution to see if it improves visibility during colonoscopy. It might help doctors see the colon more clearly, potentially leading to better detection of polyps.
This trial tests whether special ward rounds can help hospitalized patients prepare better for a colonoscopy. It may improve how well the bowel is cleaned before the procedure, which helps doctors see more clearly.
This study tests if watching a short video and reading a booklet helps patients prepare better for a colonoscopy compared to just getting standard instructions. Good preparation makes the procedure safer and more effective.
