Menthol rinse during colonoscopy to reduce cramping and find more polyps
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a menthol solution sprayed inside the colon during a colonoscopy can reduce cramping and help doctors see more polyps (small growths that could become cancer). It may make the exam more comfortable and improve detection.
