February 23, 2019 updated by: BETÜL TOPAL, Bulent Ecevit University

Which Position is Suitable for Easy, Fast and Comfortable Colonoscopy

Colonoscopy is one of the most common endoscopic procedures today. However, it sometimes can be a serious challenging situation both for the clinicians and patients. In this study, the investigators tried to determine which colonoscopic position allows easy, fast and comfortable way.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Unknown

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

colonoscopy and colonoscopic screening are the most common routine studies to reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer.In this process, the most important problem for the endoscopist and the patient is pain, loop formation, (the reason why the device is not able to progress in the bowel) and in some patients it takes a long time due to these reasons and the risk of complication development.The subject of what should be the most ideal position in colonoscopy has previously been studied in some specific subgroups.There is not enough study on what should be the ideal position in colonoscopy. In this study, the investigators tried to determine which colonoscopic position allows easy, fast and comfortable way.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Left Position during colonoscopy
Left position, the patient will be in the left-side position during the entire colonoscopy period. If necessary, change of position and pressure will be allowed. During this procedure, the time to reach the cecum and terminal ileum, patient comfort, and the process memory lost will be measured.Moreover, process recall, sedation amounts and pain scale will be measured after the procedure..During the process, it will be examined whether there is any need for loop formation, repositioning requirement and pressure requirements. The type and amount of anesthetic agent (midazolam) used during the process is paid attention to be equal. All procedures will be done with the same brand device. After the procedure, a mini questionnaire will be applied to the patients for the pain scale.
Device: left position
colonoscopy will be performed in 3 different locations. Left position, the patient will be in the left-side position during the entire colonoscopy
Other Names:
  • Colonoscopy in the Left position
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Left Supine Position during colonoscopy
Left Supine position, the patient will be in the left and supine ( after splenic flexura) position during the entire colonoscopy period. If necessary, change of position and pressure will be allowed. During this procedure, the time to reach the cecum and terminal ileum, patient comfort, and the process memory lost will be measured.
Device: left supine position
Colonoscopy in the Left supine position
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Dynamic position during colonoscopy
Dynamic position, the patient will be stared as left position during colonoscopy period. If necessary, change of position and pressure will be allowed at any time. During this procedure, the time to reach the cecum and terminal ileum, patient comfort, and the process memory lost will be measured..During the process, it will be examined whether there is any need for loop formation, repositioning requirement and pressure requirements. The type and amount of anesthetic agent used during the process is paid attention to be equal. The use of midazolam as an anesthetic agent was planned.All procedures will be done with the same brand device. After the procedure, a mini questionnaire will be applied to the patients for the pain scale.
Device: dynamic position
Colonoscopy in the Dynamic position

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time to reach cecum
Time Frame: 2 hour
Cecum intubation time is the insertion time taken from first visualization of rectal mucosa to cecum
2 hour

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
patient's comfort assessment: Visual Analog Score
Time Frame: 3 hour
patients' discomfort will be assessed by a 10-cm visual analog scale, in which a score of 0 denoted no pain and a score of 10 denoted unbearable pain
3 hour
