Two bowel prep methods before colonoscopy study
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to clean the bowel before a colonoscopy: a 4-liter split-dose of a laxative plus two other medications versus a 2-liter split-dose with a gas-relief medication. The goal is to see which works better and is easier to tolerate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares different ways of preparing your bowel for a colonoscopy (a test that looks inside your large intestine). It aims to find which method is easier to take and works better at cleaning the bowel, so you may have a more comfortable and effective procedure.
This trial compares two different laxatives (prucalopride and bisacodyl) to see which one works better for cleaning out your bowels before a colonoscopy. If you are scheduled for a colonoscopy, this study may help improve the experience and make the procedure more effective.
This trial compares two different bowel preparation solutions (2L-PEG and oral sulfate solution) for people with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who are having a colonoscopy. The goal is to find which preparation works better and is more comfortable for patients with these conditions.
This trial looks at whether using electrolyte drinks instead of water to mix your colonoscopy prep medicine (sodium phosphate or polyethylene glycol) makes the prep easier or more effective. It may help you feel less bloated or nauseated during bowel preparation.
This study tests whether combining an electrolyte beverage (a drink with salts and minerals) with polyethylene glycol—a standard bowel-cleaning solution—helps prepare your colon better for colonoscopy. The goal is to see if this combination makes the preparation easier to tolerate while still cleaning your bowel effectively.
This study tests whether a combination of magnesium sulfate and a low-volume bowel prep solution is safe and works well for cleaning the colon before a colonoscopy. If you are scheduled for a colonoscopy, this could help make the prep easier while still being effective.
