ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the factors that make colonoscopy procedures more difficult, particularly looking at how personality traits might play a role. A colonoscopy is a test where a doctor uses a long, flexible tube to examine the inside of your colon. If it takes longer than 10 minutes to reach the beginning of the colon, it is considered a difficult procedure. The researchers want to understand if things like age, weight, anxiety, and personality traits affect how long this test takes and to develop a model that can help predict who might have a harder time during their colonoscopy.

To participate in this trial, you need to be between 18 and 60 years old and willing to fill out some questionnaires about your personality and mental health. You should also be scheduled for a colonoscopy that is expected to be completed successfully. However, if you are pregnant, have had certain types of bowel surgery, or have specific health conditions, you may not be eligible. The trial is not recruiting participants yet, but once it starts, those who take part can expect to help researchers learn more about how different factors influence colonoscopy procedures, potentially leading to better experiences for future patients.
