Summary

This study tests whether using hypnosis during a screening colonoscopy helps patients feel less anxious and in less pain, and whether it helps doctors complete the exam fully. About 600 adults getting a routine colonoscopy for colorectal cancer screening will be randomly assigned to receive either standard care or hypnosis. The goal is to see if hypnosis is as good as or better than usual care for making the procedure more comfortable and successful.
