Clinical Trial Summary

Water exchange (WE) method has been shown to reduce medication requirement and pain experience during the colonoscopy. Cap-assisted colonoscopy aided by air may also reduced the insertion pain. Therefore, the immediate aim of this study is to assess the generalizability of the impact of WE plus cap (WECAC), as a potentially less painful insertion technique than WE. The control group will use water infusion in lieu of air insufflation during insertion of the colonoscope. The study group will added a cap onto the end of colonoscope during the WE method procedure. This study will also demonstrate if the WECAC method have a shorter insertion time and higher proximal colon adenoma detection rate (ADR) than WE alone in Veterans.
