ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how stress—both physical (like pain or discomfort) and psychological (like anxiety or worry)—affects the quality of bowel preparation before a colonoscopy. A good bowel preparation is important for doctors to clearly see the colon during the exam and detect any potential issues early. The researchers want to understand if stress can make bowel preparation less effective, which could delay the discovery of diseases.

To participate, you need to be between 18 and 75 years old and scheduled for a colonoscopy. You should not have any history of digestive tumors or active inflammatory bowel disease, and you should be able to understand and answer questions accurately. If you join the study, you will fill out a questionnaire about your health history, lifestyle, and stress levels. This trial is still recruiting participants, so if you're eligible, it could be a good opportunity to help improve colonoscopy preparation for everyone.
