Patient-controlled sedation for colonoscopy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of giving sedation (medicine to help you relax and sleep) during a colonoscopy: one where you control the sedation yourself with a button, and one where a nurse gives it to you. The goal is to see which method leads to higher patient satisfaction.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be scheduled for a colonoscopy (a procedure to examine your large intestine) that includes sedation.
- You should be healthy or have only mild medical conditions (classified as ASA I or II by your doctor).

- You must be able to fill out questionnaires about your experience.
- You cannot have known allergies to propofol (the sedation medicine), and you cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
