Core Tip |
We conducted a randomized controlled trial to test the effect of relaxing visual distraction during colonoscopy. Sixty patients were randomly assigned to two groups: group 1 watched a silent movie using a head-mounted display, while group 2 only wore the display. Patients in group 1 reported a significantly higher post-procedural satisfaction. Among those with a high pre-procedural anxiety score, the scores for anxiety and pain during the procedure were significantly lower in the group with the visual distraction. Visual distraction alone improves satisfaction during a colonoscopy and decreases anxiety and pain among patients with a high pre-procedural anxiety score. |
