Repetitive Position Change Improves Gastric Cleanliness for MCE

Stomach Diseases Clinical Trial

Official title: Repetitive Position Change After Dimethicone Premedication Improves Gastric Cleanliness for Magnetically Controlled Capsule Endoscopy: a Single-blind, Randomized Controlled Trial

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

By comparing dimethicone administration with/without subsequent repetitive position change before magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) examination, the investigators aim to determine the efficacy of repetitive position change in improving gastric cleanliness for MCE examination.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a single-blind, randomized controlled trial. Subjects receiving magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy at the institution will be randomly allocated into positional change group and conventional group before the procedure. Right after ingesting 5 g dimethicone mixed with 100 ml water, subjects in the position change group will be instructed to repeatedly change the body position according to a pre-specified protocol for a period of 15 min: in the order of supine to the left lateral position to prone, left lateral, supine, right lateral, and repeat last four positions twice, each for 1 min; finally supine for 1 min. Thirty and 40 min after dimethicone administration, subjects in both groups will additionally take 200 ml and 800 ml water, respectively, and undergo MCE examination. Gastric cleanliness will be rated by two physicians independently. ;
