Repetitive Position Change Improves Gastric Cleanliness for MCE
Stomach Diseases
About this trial
This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Stomach Diseases focused on measuring Position change, Gastric cleanliness, Magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adult patients aged more than 18 years, who were scheduled to undergo a magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy, were eligible for this study.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Dysphagia or symptoms of gastric outlet obstruction, suspected or known intestinal stenosis, overt gastrointestinal bleeding, history of upper gastrointestinal surgery or abdominal surgery altering gastrointestinal anatomy, or postabdominal radiation;
- Congestive heart failure, renal insufficiency, under therapeutic anticoagulation, in poor general condition (American Society of Anesthesiologists class III/IV), claustrophobia, metallic parts, a pacemaker or other implanted electromedical devices, artificial heart valves;
- Pregnancy or suspected pregnancy;
- Exclusion criteria for standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination such as the presence of surgical metallic devices, even though its low magnetic field would technically not interfere with such devices;
- Currently participating in another clinical study.

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
No Intervention
Experimental
Conventional group
Position change group
Right after ingesting 5 g dimethicone mixed with 100 ml water, subjects in the conventional group will receive no intervention. Thirty and 40 min after dimethicone administration, subjects will additionally take 200 ml and 800 ml water, respectively, and undergo MCE examination.
Right after ingesting 5 g dimethicone mixed with 100 ml water, subjects in the position change group will be instructed to repeatedly change the body position according to a pre-specified protocol for a period of 15 min: in the order of supine to the left lateral position to prone, left lateral, supine, right lateral, and repeat last four positions twice, each for 1 min; finally supine for 1 min. Thirty and 40 min after dimethicone administration, subjects in both groups will additionally take 200 ml and 800 ml water, respectively before undergoing MCE examination.
