Effect of water ph on bowel cleansing before colonoscopy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study is testing whether the pH (acidity or alkalinity) of the water you drink while taking your bowel prep before a colonoscopy affects how well your colon is cleaned. If you are scheduled for a colonoscopy and are willing to follow the required diet, this trial might help improve the quality of your preparation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be able to follow the special diet recommended before the procedure.
- You must use the specific bowel preparation (laxative) that this study uses — a combination of senna and sodium phosphate. No other prep is allowed.
- You must not have had any surgery on your stomach, small or large intestine, or any major abdominal surgery.
- You must not be taking 'prokinetic' drugs (medicines that speed up digestion).

This trial tests a new liquid solution that you drink before a colonoscopy to see if it cleans the colon better than the usual prep. If you're scheduled for a colonoscopy, this might make the procedure more effective and comfortable.
This study looks at what factors might make it harder to clean out your bowel before a colonoscopy. Understanding these reasons could help doctors give better instructions and improve success rates.
This study looks at factors that affect how well the bowel is cleaned before a colonoscopy in people with IBD. The goal is to improve preparation so the colonoscopy can be more effective.
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 trial tests whether using water that is tested for bacteria during a colonoscopy can reduce the risk of infection. It may help make the procedure safer for you.
This study compares different ways of preparing your bowel for a colonoscopy (a test that looks inside your large intestine). It aims to find which method is easier to take and works better at cleaning the bowel, so you may have a more comfortable and effective procedure.
