Core Tip	Music during stressful events has been shown to improve patient experience. Colonoscopy is a stressful event for many patients. Music during colonoscopy has been studied by many randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses with varying results. Therefore, given new studies available for analysis, we performed an updated meta-analysis. This meta-analysis demonstrated that music during colonoscopy reduces patients’ pain while improving patients’ experience and procedure times. With these results and extremely limited adverse effects of music, music should be strongly considered during colonoscopy.
