Comparing Two Numbing Sprays for Stomach Camera Scope
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two numbing sprays (dyclonine vs. tetracaine) to see which works better for people getting a stomach scope procedure without sedation. If you are having a routine unsedated gastroscopy, this study may help make you more comfortable.

This trial tests if a combination of a nausea medicine (ondansetron) and a numbing spray (dyclonine) can make having a stomach scope test more comfortable for people who are awake during it.
This trial compares two different sedative drugs to see which works better for numbing patients during a short upper GI endoscopy (a scope test of the stomach and esophagus). The goal is to find a safer, more comfortable option for the procedure.
This trial tests whether taking two medicines (N-acetylcysteine and simethicone) before an upper endoscopy helps the doctor see the stomach lining more clearly. It may be an option for people having their first endoscopy, without active bleeding.
This trial compares two ways to keep you comfortable during a scope procedure (like colonoscopy or endoscopy): one using opioid pain medications, and one without. Researchers want to see if avoiding opioids is safe and effective.
This study compares the accuracy of a stomach ultrasound (a painless scan) with a traditional tube test (gastroscopy) to see how much food or fluid is left in the stomach. This could help doctors know if the stomach is empty before procedures, reducing risks.
This trial tests a new sedation medicine (Methoxyethyl Etomidate Hydrochloride) for people having an upper endoscopy or colonoscopy. The goal is to see if it works well and is safe for routine procedures.
