Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Small-bowel cleanliness

    The cleansing quality of the small-bowel will be evaluated according to the system validated by Brotz et al., using the quantitative index (QI), because this score is less susceptible to the subjective element. The used cut-off value accepted for an adequate small-bowel cleansing was ≥ 8 points.

    at the end of capsule endoscopy exploration

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • The number of all the observed lesions

    at the end of capsule endoscopy exploration

  • The clinical tolerance questionnaire

    at the end of capsule endoscopy exploration

  • The transit time

    at the end of capsule endoscopy exploration

Study Arms (2)

Single-dose Polyethylene Glycol regimen

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Drug: Polyethylene Glycol Intervention: 2 liters of Polyethylene Glycol will be given in the day before Capsule Endoscopy ingestion.

Drug: Polyethylene Glycol Intervention: 1 liter of Polyethylene Glycol will be given in the day before Capsule Endoscopy ingestion and another 1 liter Polyethylene Glycol will be given in the same day of Capsule Endoscopy ingestion.

Device: Capsule endoscopyDrug: Polyethylene Glycol
