NCT ID: NCT00748293 Recruiting - Colonoscopy Clinical Trials

Achievement of Better Examinee Compliance on Colon Cleansing Using Commercialized Low-Residue Diet

Start date: September 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Good colon cleansing is pivotal for achieving speedy and safe colonoscopic examination with high adenoma detection rate.Previous studies, including our previous RCT conducted in 2004 to 2005, have demonstrated that high yield rate can be achieved by on-the-day colon preparation with 2000 ml PEG-ELS. Poor patient compliance, however, is the main hurdle to complete ingestion of 2000 ml PEG-ELS not only for subjects with lower body weight but also for those with normal BMI or body weight.The main cause of poor patient compliance includes abdominal pain, bloating, nausea or vomiting during ingestion of cleansing fluid.Though diet restriction with low-fiber diet is always advised to every screen before colonoscopy, the extent of diet restriction is widely variable and thus influences the degree of colon cleansing. With commercialized low-residue diet (CLRD), diet restriction will be well controlled and variability of colon cleansing can be minimized such that guarantee a colonoscopy with good quality. In this RCT, we will compare the compliance of screen during colon cleansing using different protocol: namely 2000 ml PEG-ELS vs. 1500 ml plus low-residue diet.
