Summary

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of binaural beats on anxiety, pain and tolerance during colonoscopy without sedation

Detailed description

It is a prospective randomized, controlled, single-blind procedural study included 92 Turkish patients aged 18-70 years old scheduled for colonoscopy regardless of sex or underlying disease. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: the binaural beat music group(n=46) and the control group(n=46). The binaural music group listened to music through headphones during colonoscopy, while the control group had headphones without music. Anxiety levels (VAS-Anxiety scale) were measured both before and after the procedure, and pain levels (VAS-pain) were measured following the procedure. Hemodynamic changes before and after endoscopy , procedure tolerance (using modified gloucester comfort scale), cecal insertion and withdrawal times, polyp detection rate, and patients' experiences related to colonoscopy were recorded. Likert scales were collected as well just after the colonoscopy procedure, indicating satisfaction and willingness to repeat the process.
