Effect of Domperidone on Completion Rate of Vedio Capsule Endoscopy

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2018-11-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) has become an established technique to investigate the presence of small bowel pathology. But the limited battery life of capsules can lead to incomplete small bowel visualization. There is a rationale to use prokinetic agents prior to VCE reduce the chances of an incomplete small bowel examination via decrease gastric transit time (GTT). Investigators are aimed to prospectively compare the completion rate of VCE in pediatric patients receiving prokinetic with those receiving no prokinetic.
