NCT ID NCT07454993
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether playing pop or rock music during a colonoscopy can lower the pain people feel. About 1,042 adults having the procedure will be randomly assigned to either listen to music or not. Afterward, they will rate their pain on a 0–10 scale. If music helps, it could offer a simple, drug-free way to improve comfort.
