Gentle nerve stimulation to improve colonoscopy prep
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive nerve stimulation device (like a small patch) can make the bowel-cleaning preparation for a colonoscopy work better. If you are having a colonoscopy, this might help you feel ready for the procedure and improve the quality of the exam.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at what factors might make it harder to clean out your bowel before a colonoscopy. Understanding these reasons could help doctors give better instructions and improve success rates.
This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation applied to the skin can help older adults recover bowel function faster after minimally invasive colon cancer surgery. The goal is to reduce the time it takes for the bowel to start working normally again after surgery.
This trial tests whether sacral nerve stimulation—a device that sends small electrical signals near nerves in the lower back—can be safe and helpful for ulcerative colitis. It is meant for people whose ulcerative colitis has not improved enough with medicines.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation device (like acupuncture without needles) on the skin can help people with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis who haven't gotten better with standard treatments.
This trial tests if sacral nerve stimulation can safely help people with ulcerative colitis that hasn't improved with standard treatments. It aims to see if this approach can reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
This study tests whether mild electrical stimulation on the ear (called taVNS) can help people with difficult-to-treat constipation. It aims to find the best stimulation schedule to improve bowel movements.
