First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 679 adults to find out what makes some people feel pain during a colonoscopy without sedation. The goal was to create a tool that predicts pain before the procedure, so doctors can take steps to make it more comfortable. By collecting basic health info and pain scores, researchers hope to improve screening for colorectal cancer.
