Comparison of Colon Cleansing Quality Between the Setting of Colon Cleansing Room and the Standard Colon Preparation in a Community Base Setting -- a Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial
Taiwan130 participantsStarted 2014-01
Plain-language summary
The quality of colon preparation plays a crucial role in colon cancer prevention, especially for right side colon. So far, colon cleansing is still not adequate in up to 10-30% colonoscopies and leads to increase risk of missed neoplasm.Recent literature on colonoscopy preparation revealed the dosage, timing and dietary restriction could influence colon preparation quality. Previous study demonstrated colon cleansing on the day of colonoscopy had better cleansing quality. However, the ideal colon preparation is not yet determined. the investigators herein consider the in-hospital setting of colon cleansing room can ensure better colon cleansing timing, colon preparation evaluation reliability and patient's compliance of colon cleansing. Therefore, the investigators design a prospective randomized controlled trial to compare cleansing quality between the setting of colon cleansing room and the standard colon preparation.

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?
