Right colon enema to improve colonoscopy bowel preparation
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding a special enema to the right side of the colon during a colonoscopy can make the bowel cleaner and improve the view. If you are having a planned colonoscopy, this could help your doctor see better and possibly find problems more easily.

This study tests a special way for hospital staff to manage bowel preparation for inpatients who need a colonoscopy. The goal is to improve the quality of the colon cleanse, which can help doctors see the colon better during the procedure.
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 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.
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 compares two bowel-clearing methods—an enema given through the rectum versus an oral (by mouth) mechanical bowel prep—during a specific type of rectal surgery. It aims to find which method works better and is easier or safer for patients.
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.
