Using a risk score to reduce pain during colonoscopy
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if assigning you to a specific endoscopist based on your personal risk score can reduce pain during an unsedated colonoscopy. You may qualify if you are scheduled for a screening or polyp removal and have a higher risk of discomfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are having a colonoscopy for screening, polyp check, or polyp removal.
- Your risk score is above 5 based on body mass index, sex, previous surgeries, and constipation.
- You have not taken sedation or pain medicine before the procedure.
- You do not have inflammatory bowel disease, multiple polyposis syndromes, or severe heart or lung disease.
- You are not taking blood thinners.

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 tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation device (like a small patch) placed on your lower legs can improve how well your colon is cleaned before a colonoscopy. If you are having a routine colonoscopy and meet the health criteria, you may be eligible to join.
This study compares two ways of giving sedation (sleepy medicine) during a colonoscopy procedure. You may be able to control your own sedation level with a button, which might make the experience more comfortable and satisfying for you.
This study tests whether using CT scan images to guide doctors during colonoscopy (a camera exam of your colon) improves how well the procedure goes and reduces doctor stress. You'll answer questions about your experience before and after the procedure.
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.
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.
