Summary
This study tests whether listening to visualized meditation sessions for three days before an endoscopy can lower anxiety, pain, and discomfort during the procedure. About 72 first-time endoscopy patients will either listen to the meditation or receive standard care. Researchers will measure anxiety, pain, and comfort levels before and after the procedure.
