Patient-controlled sedation versus standard sedation during colonoscopy
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of giving sedation (sleepy medicine) during a colonoscopy procedure. You may be able to control your own sedation level with a button, which might make the experience more comfortable and satisfying for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a routine colonoscopy and your doctor plans to use propofol sedation
- You are in good overall health (ASA Class I or II—meaning no serious medical conditions or only minor controlled conditions)
- You can understand the study information and give permission to participate
- You are able to use a hand-held device to control your own sedation level
- You can complete written questionnaires about your experience
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or allergic to propofol

This trial compares two ways of giving sedation for a diagnostic colonoscopy: one where you control the medicine yourself, and one where a nurse gives it. The goal is to see which method makes patients more satisfied.
This trial compares two sedative medications, remimazolam and propofol, to see which works better and is safer for people having a colonoscopy to remove polyps. It could help choose a sedation option with fewer side effects.
This trial tests if adding clonidine to the sedative propofol makes colonoscopy more comfortable and safer. If you are having a colonoscopy and are generally healthy, this study may help improve your sedation experience.
This study tests a new way to monitor how deeply sedated you are during a colonoscopy or similar procedure. It uses a special consciousness index to help the doctor give you just the right amount of sedation.
This trial compares two methods of giving sedation during a procedure called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). It looks at how each method affects breathing, recovery, and brain activity.
This study tests a computer program that helps doctors watch your vital signs while you are sedated for a routine gastrointestinal procedure, with the goal of making sedation safer and more personalized.
