Secondary outcomes include patient satisfaction compliance with the bowel preparation instructions and reduction in procedure related anxiety."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Adults age more than 18 years\n* Scheduled for elective colonoscopy\n* Ability to use WhatsApp\n* Can provide informed consent\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Emergency colonoscopy\n* Unable to provide informed consent\n* Inability to use smartphone applications'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT07426133', 'briefTitle': 'Whatsapp Based Patient Education to Improve Bowel Preparation for Colonoscopy', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre'}, 'officialTitle': 'Examining the Efficacy of WhatsApp-Based Patient Education in Enhancing Bowel Preparation for Colonoscopy: A Randomized Controlled Trial', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'IRB-25-09'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Whatsapp education group', 'description': 'Participants receive structured bowel preparation education through WhatsApp in the form of video messages and reminders.', 'interventionNames': ['Behavioral: Standard bowel preparation instructions']}, {'type': 'OTHER', 'label': 'Standard counseling group/ Control group', 'description': 'Control group: Participants received Routinely in person verbal counseling regarding the bowel preparation as per standard institutional Practices.', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Standard bowel preparation instructions', 'Drug: Polyethylene glycol with senna']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Standard bowel preparation instructions', 'type': 'BEHAVIORAL', 'description': 'Participants will receive structured bowel preparation instructions delivered via WhatsApp, including text messages, educational videos, and reminder messages for 3 days prior to colonoscopy, with opportunity for real-time question and answer support.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Whatsapp education group']}, {'name': 'Standard bowel preparation instructions', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'Participants will receive routine written and verbal bowel preparation instructions as per institutional protocol', 'armGroupLabels': ['Standard counseling group/ Control group']}, {'name': 'Polyethylene glycol with senna', 'type': 'DRUG', 'description': 'All participants will receive bowel preparation using polyethylene glycol solution combined with senna tablets as per institutional protocol prior to colonoscopy.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Standard counseling group/ Control group']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '25100', 'city': 'Peshawar', 'state': 'KPK', 'country': 'Pakistan', 'facility': 'Shaukat Khanam Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre Peshawar', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 34.008, 'lon': 71.57849}}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'NO'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
