This trial compares two laxatives, prucalopride and bisacodyl, to see which works better at cleaning the colon before a colonoscopy. If you are scheduled for a colonoscopy, you may be able to join and help find the best preparation method.
This trial tests whether pyridostigmine helps return bowel function faster after colorectal surgery when the gut is “stuck,” causing bloating and no gas or stool. It also checks safety and side effects compared with standard care.
This study looks at whether prucalopride (Motegrity/Resotran) can help constipation symptoms in women who are breastfeeding. It also monitors the breastfeeding infant during the study while you follow sample-collection and interview requirements.
This study tests whether a specific probiotic (beneficial bacteria called Colipral®) can reduce stomach discomfort after a colonoscopy. You would take this probiotic after your colonoscopy procedure to see if it helps with symptoms like bloating or cramping.
This trial tests if taking probiotics (healthy bacteria) before and after surgery can help your bowels start working again sooner. It's for people having planned colorectal cancer surgery.
This trial tests if taking a postbiotic supplement before surgery for colorectal cancer can improve recovery. It may help patients with adenocarcinoma of the large intestine prepare for their operation.
