4 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to document the safety and effectiveness of high doses of liquids to clean the colon for colonoscopy in patients who had a previous colonoscopy with a poorly cleaned colon.
This is a prospective randomized study which will be done at main campus Cleveland Clinic. The investigators will be comparing the colon cleansing by the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale in participants undergoing colonoscopy as an inpatient at our hospital. Participants will be randomized to the the standard of care (4 Liter polyethylene glycol based preparation) or a low volume bowel preparation (sodium picosulfate, a stimulant laxative, magnesium oxide and anhydrous citric acid (SP/MC)). Both agents will either be administered as full dose the evening before or as split-dose on the evening before and on the day of the procedure.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the pattern of flavoring and drinking of laxatives for colonoscopy can improve the experience of patients when they are undergoing bowel preparation for the test. Investigators hypothesize that patients will have a better experience if patients taste the bowel preparation laxative with and without flavoring and then decide how they want to drink the rest of the laxative since taste preferences vary widely from person to person.
The purpose of this study is to compare the Sodium Picosulfate, Magnesium Oxide and Anhydrous Citric Acid Oral Solution with PREPOPIK® for colon cleansing in adult subjects undergoing colonoscopy.
