| Core Tip |
The use of flexible sigmoidoscopy is becoming more prevalent particularly in the context of bowel cancer screening; however uptake remains low and patients are often anxious when attending about discomfort and embarrassment. We conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies investigating the role of music in reducing anxiety and discomfort in patients undergoing screening flexible sigmoidoscopy. In our review, music reduced anxiety and was deemed a helpful intervention by the patients. It may also reduce discomfort but further studies are required to confirm this. Music may potentially improve patient experience and have a positive effect on the test uptake. |
