About this study

Official title: Does Using Abdominal Binder Really Benefit During Colonoscopy ?: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Sham-Controlled Trial

Colonoscopy is considered the primary screening test for colorectal cancer screening worldwide. For technical difficulties previously experienced during colonoscopy, especially loop of the colonoscopy device in the colon, many solution methods have been developed and applied (manual pressure and position change, etc.). Although these methods are partially successful, there is no consensus on the optimum solution method. Few studies in the literature have investigated the use of corset during colonoscopy and conflicting results have been reported. In this study, elastic abdominal corset or false corset will be used during colonoscopy. Indeed, the investigators aim to determine whether this method is effective and safe with their own results and contribute to the literature. The primary outcome of this study will be the cecal intubation time. Secondary outcomes include manual pressure and position change during the procedure, length of cecal intubation (length of colonoscope required to reach the cecum from the anus), colonoscopy completion rate, additional anesthesia and / or analgesic requirement, patient pain and comfort level and colonoscopic findings.Efficacy will be assessed on the basis of pairwise comparisons between groups with respect to primary and secondary outcomes.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Abdominal BinderDevice

    abdominal binder is a kind of elastic abdominal compression device

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Abdominal Binder Intervention GroupExperimentalPatients randomized to Abdominal Binder Intervention Group will have the abdominal binder secured firmly between Spina iliaca anterior superior and subcostal area to the abdomen just prior the colonoscopy.
Receives: Device: Abdominal Binder
Sham GroupSham comparatorSham Group will have the abdominal binder secured firmly between Spina iliaca anterior superior and subcostal area to the abdomen just prior the colonoscopy but it will be loosened just prior the procedure
Receives: Device: Abdominal Binder

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Cecal Intubation Time

    Cecal intubation time will be defined as the time from insertion of the colonoscope into the rectum to identification of the base of the cecum

    Measured: During colonoscopy, from insertion of scope into rectum to point in time when base of cecum is identified,an average of 1-30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of Participants Who Required Ancillary Maneuvers

    Binary data indicating individually whether abdominal pressure or patient position change was used during the insertion phase of the procedure will be recorded.

    Measured: During colonoscopy, from insertion of scope into rectum to point in time when base of cecum is identified, an average of 1-30 minutes

  2. Length of Cecal Intubation

    The length of the colonoscope required to reach the cecum from the anus will be measured

    Measured: From inserting the scope into the rectum during the colonoscopy, until the cecum base is determined, an average of 1-30 minutes

  3. Number of Participants Who Completed the Procedure

    Dichotomous outcome indicating if the procedure was incomplete or complete.

    Measured: During colonoscopy, from time point of insertion of scope into rectum to point in time when scope is removed from rectum,an average of 2-60 minutes

  4. Number of Participants Who Required Additional Anesthetic and / or Analgesic Drug

    Whether the patient needs an additional dose of anesthetic and / or analgesic drug to complete the colonoscopy

    Measured: During colonoscopy, from time point of insertion of scope into rectum to point in time when scope is removed from rectum,an average of 2-60 minutes

  5. Patient Pain and Comfort Level at Discharge

    Study assistant will interview patient just prior to discharge and obtain responses for pain according to 10-point visual analog scales ( scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between "no pain" =1 (min) and "worst pain"=10 (max)) and global satisfaction according to a 5-point scale ( scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 5-cm line that represents a continuum between "very unsatisfied" =1 (min) and "very satisfied"=5 (max) )

    Measured: At single time point occurring after the colonoscopy, just prior to the patient being discharged from facility,an average of 60 minutes

  6. Number of Participants According to Colonoscopy Findings

    Findings such as polyp, cancer, diverticulum detected during colonoscopy will be recorded.

    Measured: During colonoscopy, from time point of insertion of scope into rectum to point in time when scope is removed from rectum,an average of 2-60 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Abdominal Binder in people with Performance and Tolerance of Colonoscopy, run by Sehit Prof. Dr. Ilhan Varank Sancaktepe Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Nov 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Mean Cecal Intubation Time (time frame: During colonoscopy, from insertion of scope into rectum to point in time when base of cecum is identified,an average of 1-30 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 12 Nov 2020.
