Improvement of Quality of Nonanesthetic Colonoscopy by Preoperative Administration of Pinaverium Bromide

Abstract

Background:Nonanesthetic colonoscopy is popular in clinical practice in China. However, intestinal spasms often result in a prolonged examination time, increased operating difficulties, decreased polyp detection rate, and failure to complete the procedure clinically. Therefore, exploring alternative approaches that can reduce the pain in patients during colonoscopy is of utmost importance, and finding the optimal preoperative administration to improve the quality of nonanesthetic colonoscopy is also necessary. This study aimed to investigate the effects of the prophylactic administration of pinaverium bromide before colonoscopy and the effects of pinaverium bromide alone at different time points or combined with scopolamine butylbromide.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was performed on a cohort of 1000 patients who underwent colonoscopy in outpatient clinic of Wuhan Union Hospital. The patients were randomly assigned to the following groups: Group A, given oral pinaverium bromide (100 mg, three times a day) one day before examination combined with intramuscular injection of scopolamine butylbromide (20 mg) 10 min before colonoscopy; Group B0, given pinaverium bromide alone on the day of colonoscopy (100 mg, three times a day); Group B1, given pinaverium bromide alone (100 mg, three times a day) one day before colonoscopy; Group B2, given pinaverium bromide alone (100 mg, three times a day) two days before colonoscopy; and Group C, given scopolamine butylbromide alone (20 mg) before colonoscopy. The successful rate of colonoscopy, procedure time, degree of abdominal pain, and polyp detection rate were recorded and compared among all groups.Results:The successful rate of colonoscopy in Group B1 (82.0%) and Group B2 (83.0%) was significantly higher than that in Group B0 (62.0%, all P < 0.01). The time to reach the ileocecal region in Group B1 and Group B2 were lower than those in Group B0 (all P < 0.05). However, no significant differences were observed in polyp detection rate between Group B1 (24.0%) or Group B2 (26.0%), and Group B0 (22.4%, all P > 0.05). Furthermore, there were no significant differences in the various parameters examined between Group B1 and Group B2 (P > 0.05). The successful rate of colonoscopy in Group A (92.0%) was significantly higher than that in Group B1 (82.0%) and Group C (80.0%; both P < 0.05). Moreover, the time for the colonoscope to reach the ileocecal region in Group A were markedly shorter as compared to those in Group B1 and Group C (P < 0.05). The polyp detection rate in Group A was 32.0%, significantly higher than that in Group B1 (24.0%, P < 0.05) and Group C (24.2%, P < 0.05).Conclusion:Administration of pinaverium bromide alone one day before examination was beneficial to relieve symptoms of abdominal pain during nonanesthetic colonoscopy. In addition, therapeutic effects were improved when pinaverium bromide administration was combined with intramuscular injection of scopolamine butylbromide. Therefore, the combined use of pinaverium bromide with scopolamine butylbromi...

Chinese herbal formula Tongxie Yaofang for diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome: study protocol for a randomized, multiple-blind, placebo-controlled trial

“…The specific pathogenesis of IBS has not been clarified clinically, and studies have shown that it may be related to brain and bowel dysfunction, gastrointestinal motility disorders, visceral hypersensitivity, psychosocial problems, and intestinal flora disorders [ 1 , 11 ]. The treatment strategy of IBS-D includes antispasmodics for abdominal pain, antidiarrhoeals, nutritional intervention, and psychotherapy, but no specific therapeutic drugs that are able to treat all the symptoms have been found [ 12 ]. Some routine pharmacotherapies (e.g., antispasmodic drugs and antidiarrheal drugs) and alternative treatments (e.g., hypnotherapy and psychotherapy) [ 13 ] have been tried but have failed to achieve the desired clinical therapeutic effects.…”

Synthesis of N-Methylmorpholinium Derivatives Possessing a 1,3,4-Oxadiazole Core as Feasible Antibacterial Agents against Plant Bacterial Diseases

“…Another morpholinium salt, namely, pinaverium bromide has been applied as a gastrointestinal crystallizer that can inhibit the flow of calcium ions into intestinal smooth muscle cells. Based on this, the associated pinaverium bromide tablets are safely used for intestinalrelated pain [43][44][45]. Meanwhile, novel biological ingredients possessing the typical morpholinium moiety were constantly prepared and evaluated.…”
