Comparing two throat-numbing sprays for a awake stomach exam
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares two numbing sprays to see which one is better at reducing discomfort during an unsedated (awake) stomach exam. The goal is to help patients feel more comfortable during the procedure.

This trial tests a medication (hyoscine butylbromide capsule) given before a painless upper endoscopy (a tube with a camera to examine your esophagus and stomach) to see if it helps relax the stomach and reduce discomfort during the procedure. Doctors will compare the medication to a placebo (a pill with no active medicine) to check if it is safe and effective.
This study tests whether two medicines—ondansetron (to reduce nausea) and dyclonine (to numb the throat)—can make an unsedated upper endoscopy more comfortable. If you are having this procedure, the combination may help you feel less gagging and nausea.
This trial compares two types of sedative medicines (etomidate plus propofol versus propofol alone) used during gastroscopy in people living at high altitudes. The goal is to find a safer or more comfortable sedation option for this specific population.
This trial compares two different sedative drugs to see which one works better for patients having an upper GI endoscopy, a procedure that looks at the esophagus and stomach. The goal is to find a drug that keeps patients comfortable and safe during the procedure.
This trial tests a new sedative medication called Methoxyethyl Etomidate Hydrochloride, given to keep you relaxed and pain-free during a gastroscopy or colonoscopy. The medication aims to be safe and effective for routine procedures.
This study tests a new way to give anesthesia during painless upper and lower GI exams by using a special monitor that tracks your body's response to pain. The goal is to make the procedure more comfortable and safer for you.
