Kind words beat the scope: study tests talking therapy for colonoscopy comfort
NCT ID NCT07228884
First seen Nov 17, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study tested if a doctor's calm, positive words during a colonoscopy (done without sedation) can lower patients' pain and anxiety. Over 100 adults were split into two groups: one heard encouraging phrases like "You're doing great," while the other had standard care. The goal was to see if this simple, no-cost technique improves comfort and makes the procedure easier to tolerate.
