Clinical Trial: Bowel Preparation and Prokinetics in Capsule Endoscopy

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Unknown status
Study Type: Interventional




Official Title: A Randomised Study of the Optimal Bowel Preparation for Routine Capsule Endoscopy Using Citramag and Senna or Metoclopramide

Brief Summary:

The aim of this study is to determine whether taking bowel preparation (citramag and senna) or a medicine to speed up transit through the stomach (metoclopramide), will improve the quality of the images seen, increase the transit through the small bowel, and increase the rate of completion of capsule endoscopy.

The secondary objective is to determine whether patients could routinely tolerate this bowel preparation prior to capsule endoscopy and whether the diagnostic yield of capsule endoscopy is improved.
