Primary outcomePrimary: Image Cleanliness of Gastric Cavity — 3.0; 3.5; 2.2; 3.0 units on a scale
Summary
By comparing dimethicone administration with/without subsequent repetitive position change before magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) examination, the investigators aim to determine the efficacy of repetitive position change in improving gastric cleanliness for MCE examination.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Adult patients aged more than 18 years, who were scheduled to undergo a magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy, were eligible for this study.
Exclusion Criteria
- Dysphagia or symptoms of gastric outlet obstruction, suspected or known intestinal stenosis, overt gastrointestinal bleeding, history of upper gastrointestinal surgery or abdominal surgery altering gastrointestinal anatomy, or postabdominal radiation;
- Congestive heart failure, renal insufficiency, under therapeutic anticoagulation, in poor general condition (American Society of Anesthesiologists class III/IV), claustrophobia, metallic parts, a pacemaker or other implanted electromedical devices, artificial heart valves;
- Pregnancy or suspected pregnancy;
- Exclusion criteria for standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination such as the presence of surgical metallic devices, even though its low magnetic field would technically not interfere with such devices;
- Currently participating in another clinical study.
