Feasibility and Effectiveness of Colonic Irrigation
A study testing Colonic Irrigation in people with Colonic Irrigation, run by NYU Langone Health at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
This study will allow investigators to determine whether colonic irrigation may allow for a non-oral, same-day alternative to traditional oral bowel prep regimens. This in turn could lead to more persons able to undergo screening colonoscopy for colorectal cancer and thus increased cancer prevention and early… Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Feasibility and Effectiveness of Colonic Irrigation as a Non-oral, Same-day Bowel Preparation Option in Patients Undergoing Screening or Surveillance Colonoscopy
This study will allow investigators to determine whether colonic irrigation may allow for a non-oral, same-day alternative to traditional oral bowel prep regimens. This in turn could lead to more persons able to undergo screening colonoscopy for colorectal cancer and thus increased cancer prevention and early detection.

The primary endpoints for this study are:
- Overall quality of bowel cleansing for each of the three segments of the colon (ascending, transverse, and descending) as measured by the Boston Bowel Preparation Score (BBPS), a validated numerical scale for bowel cleanse (0-3 for each colon segment; 0-9 total score) (6).
- Patient satisfaction, as measured by a questionnaire administered by a study investigator via follow-up phone call after completion of the colonic irrigation and subsequent colonoscopy.
- Conditions
- Colonic Irrigation
- Being tested
- Colonic Irrigation
- Keywords
- Hydro-San Plus colonic irrigation system, Screening colonoscopy

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This study will allow investigators to determine whether colonic irrigation may allow for a non-oral, same-day alternative to traditional oral bowel prep regimens. This in turn could lead to more persons able to undergo screening colonoscopy for colorectal cancer and thus increased cancer prevention and early detection.
