Warm foot bath after colonoscopy cuts pain and gas time, study finds

This study tested whether a 30-minute warm foot bath after a colonoscopy can help reduce pain and bloating and help people pass gas sooner. 90 adults were randomly assigned to either get the foot bath or standard care. Researchers measured pain and bloating right after the procedure and at 15 and 30 minutes, and also tracked how long it took to pass gas.
