Pre-medication for better views during upper endoscopy
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking two medicines (N-acetylcysteine and simethicone) before an upper endoscopy helps the doctor see the stomach lining more clearly. It may be an option for people having their first endoscopy, without active bleeding.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if a combination of a nausea medicine (ondansetron) and a numbing spray (dyclonine) can make having a stomach scope test more comfortable for people who are awake during it.
This study tests whether a medicine called pronase, taken before an upper endoscopy (a scope test to look at your stomach), helps keep the stomach lining cleaner so the doctor can see better. If you are having a routine upper endoscopy, this might help make the exam more accurate.
This trial tests whether a medicine called simethicone (often used for gas) helps doctors find H. pylori bacteria more clearly during a routine stomach exam. If you have H. pylori, this could make diagnosis easier and more accurate.
This trial tests two medications, esomeprazole and sucralfate, to see if they help heal stomach ulcers after an endoscopic procedure (ESD) for early stomach cancer or pre-cancerous growths. It may help you if you need this procedure and have a larger ulcer afterwards.
This study compares two ways of giving a medication called simethicone (which helps reduce bubbles in the bowel) before a colonoscopy. The goal is to see which method works better for giving the doctor a clear view during the procedure.
This trial compares two numbing sprays (dyclonine vs. tetracaine) to see which works better for people getting a stomach scope procedure without sedation. If you are having a routine unsedated gastroscopy, this study may help make you more comfortable.
