What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Difference in Boston Bowel Preparation Scale between the two groups

    This is an established rating scale to evaluate the quality of bowel prep. The ratings will be compared between the two groups.

    Measured: 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Difference in the number of participants who develop distress symptoms from bowel prep (and the type) between the two groups

    Number of participants who develop distress symptoms from bowel prep, and the type of distress symptoms will be compared between the two groups

    Measured: 20 hours

  2. Difference in the absolute number/percentage of participants in the two groups who find the bowel prep experience easy, acceptable, difficult, very difficult, or unable to complete.

    Participants will be asked to rate their bowel prep experience (based on ease of use) on a Likert scale. The number of participants in each level will subsequently be quantified (n, %) and compared between the two groups.

    Measured: 20

Where is the study taking place?

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Difference in Boston Bowel Preparation Scale between the two groups (time frame: 30 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Sep 2013.
