Filter by:Following surgical removal of diseased bowel, patients often require a temporary redirection of bowel contents to a stoma, to allow healing prior to re-joining of the remaining bowel at a later date. Some patients may experience complications, either during or after reversal surgery, and this may be due to changes in the 'friendly' bacteria that live in our bowels. Previous research shows that the distal section of bowel that is non-functioning undergoes tissue-wasting and the 'friendly' bacteria that help our digestion die. Data shows that patients that have a reduction in their microflora are more likely to experience side effects. This study investigates a method of replenishing the microflora prior to surgery.
The objective of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Skal Pro in alleviating symptoms, enhancing stool consistency, improving quality of life, and addressing psychological distress in individuals diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), as compared to those who receive no intervention.
In Europe, patients with acute left colon diverticulitis (ALCD) are usually admitted to surgical wards even when only medical treatment is required. The study compares ALCD non-operative management (NOM) between surgical and non-surgical environments regarding clinical outcomes, hospitalization length(LOS), and follow-up.
This study will be conducted to examine the effects of detailed education and text message reminders given to patients undergoing colonoscopy on bowel cleansing, vital signs and anxiety.
This is a prospective, multicenter, interventional study assessing CE, in patients already scheduled for colonoscopy at tertiary referral hospitals, as a technique to reduce the number of unnecessary colonoscopies and identify patients to prioritize in endoscopy waiting lists.
Colonoscopy is the examination of the large intestine with an instrument called a colonoscope. To make an accurate evaluation during a colonoscopy performed for diagnosis and treatment, adequate preparation of the large intestine must be made. Information given to patients is very important for adequate bowel preparation and adherence to treatment. Therefore, this study was planned as a prospective, single-blind randomized controlled study to determine the effect of mobile application-based bowel preparation training on patients' bowel preparation compliance, quality and anxiety level in patients scheduled for colonoscopy. The study will be carried out with 160 patients (experimental: 80, control: 80) who will apply to the Istanbul University Istanbul Medical Faculty Hospital General Surgery Department Endoscopy Unit, who will undergo colonoscopy as an outpatient. Both groups will receive oral and written instructions for bowel preparation. In addition, the smart phone app group will received instructions through a medical smart phone app. The primary outcome was the rate of adequate bowel preparation according to the Boston bowel preparation scale score. The secondary outcomes included patient compliance.
This clinical trial was prospective, randomized, single-blind, 3-treatment arm, parallel treatment group, and active-controlled. , Multi-center, Phase 3 confirmatory clinical trial.
It is estimated that about 20% of colonoscopies have inadequate preparation. (5) This is associated with lengthy procedures and less detection of adenomas, reduces the screening intervals, and increases the costs and risks of complications. Several strategies have been proposed to improve the quality of bowel preparation. Mobile healthcare Apps have been developed to increase adherence to bowel preparation agents, improving the quality of bowel preparation. However, adherence to mobile healthcare Apps is also a quality criterion and a pending problem to solve with this new technology. GastroBot is a new technology based on artificial intelligence that allows, through a software bot, to carry out a personalized follow-up of the patient's bowel cleansing, advising the patient to overcome contingencies that arise with the preparation, which in other circumstances could lead to the failure of it. The primary aim of this study is to determine the improvement in bowel preparation after GastroBot assistance compared with the traditional explanation. As a secondary aim, this study also pursues to determine adenoma and polyp detection rates (ADR and PDR, respectively), bowel preparation agents' tolerance, and GastroBot functionality.
To observe the sedative effect of continuous infusion of remidazolam in elderly patients undergoing colonoscopic polypectomy.
Participation in medical trials usually favors a particular demographic group. But there is limited research available to explain what trial attributes affect the completion of these specific demographic groups. This trial will admit a wide range of data on the clinical trial experience of Colon Cancer patients to determine which factors prevail in limiting a patient's ability to join or finish a trial. It will also try to analyze data from the perspective of different demographic groups to check for recurring trends which might yield insights for the sake of future Colon Cancer patients.
