U.S., July 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07713953) titled 'Pre-procedural Risk Score-Based Endoscopist Assignment for Pain Reduction in Unsedated Colonoscopy' on July 15.

Brief Summary: This multicenter randomized controlled trial evaluates whether a pre-procedural risk score-based endoscopist assignment strategy reduces intraprocedural pain in high-risk patients undergoing unsedated colonoscopy. High-risk patients (risk score >5) are randomized 1:1 to either the intervention group (examination performed by expert endoscopists with >=5,000 colonoscopy experiences) or the control group (examination performed by endoscopists assigned per routine hospital scheduling).
