PEG bowel preparation study for appendectomy patients
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.

This study looks at how a common bowel prep medicine (PEG laxatives) affects gut bacteria in people who have had their gallbladder removed compared to those who still have one. It involves collecting stool samples before and after a colonoscopy to track changes over time.
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 looks at how the bowel preparation medicine (PEG) used before a colonoscopy affects the bacteria living in your gut and how well they recover afterward. Healthy volunteers will take the bowel prep and provide stool samples to help researchers understand this process.
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.
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 study tests a sodium phosphate powder for cleaning the bowel before a colonoscopy. It looks at how safe and effective it is for people in this age group.
