Summary

This study looked at whether a doctor's encouraging words can help patients feel less pain and anxiety during a colonoscopy done without sedation. Over 100 adults took part, with some hearing positive phrases like "You're doing great" during the procedure. The goal was to see if this simple, low-cost approach could improve patient comfort.
