Comparing Clinical Performance of Novice Trainee Endoscopists Using Conventional Air Insufflation Versus Warm Water Infusion Colonoscopy
United States6 participantsStarted 2012-05
Plain-language summary
Hypothesis: Novice trainees will achieve significantly higher clinical competence and patient satisfaction scores with the use of warm water infusion method when compared with traditional air insufflation
Primary outcome: adenoma detection rate
Secondary outcomes: (1) independent cecal intubation rate, (2) trainer assessment of trainee's colonoscopy skills, (3) trainee's assessment of clinical confidence, (4) procedural medication requirement, (5) patient pain level during procedure, (6) patient satisfaction at procedure completion, and (7) patient willingness to repeat procedure'
Specific Aim: To demonstrate the stated hypothesis via above outcome measures. The long term goal is to provide evidence to influence other training institutions to consider education in the warm water infusion method'

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
