Pain relief during colonoscopy without sedation
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether assigning patients to a special endoscopist based on their risk score can reduce pain during colonoscopy without sedation. It may help patients who are anxious about discomfort during the procedure.

This study compares two ways of giving sedation during a colonoscopy: one where you control your own sedation with a button, and the standard method where doctors give the sedation. The goal is to see which method makes patients more comfortable and satisfied.
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.
This trial studies a sedative medicine called ciprofol to see if it helps keep blood flow steady during painless colonoscopy, which is a procedure to look inside the colon while you are asleep. It may help older adults have a safer procedure.
This study tests a new way to monitor how deeply sedated you are during a colonoscopy or similar procedure. It uses a special consciousness index to help the doctor give you just the right amount of sedation.
This study tests a new combination of pain blocks for people having laparoscopic (keyhole) colon or rectal surgery. The goal is to see if adding a back muscle block to the standard abdominal wall block provides better pain relief.
This study tests a new approach to make colonoscopy easier and more comfortable by using water, carbon dioxide gas, and a soft belly compression device instead of the standard air. The goal is to help patients need less manual pushing from the doctor during the procedure.
