Patient-controlled vs. nurse-assisted sedation for colonoscopy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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 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.
This trial is testing if giving propofol sedation in small bursts or as a steady drip works better for people having an upper endoscopy (a camera down the throat). The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to help you stay comfortable during the procedure.
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 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 trial compares two drug combinations used to keep you comfortable and relaxed during a bronchoscopy. One uses propofol with pethidine, the other midazolam with pethidine. The goal is to find which approach works better.
