Official title

The Effect of Music on Colonoscopy (MUSICOL): A Randomized Controlled Trial

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Colonoscopy is an essential tool for diagnostic evaluation for a wide range of gastrointestinal complaints and is considered the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening. This procedure is often associated with patient anxiety both prior to and during the procedure, as well as discomfort,which is managed with procedural sedation.Anticipation of an uncomfortable experience can deter patients from undergoing the procedure despite it being medically indicated. Music has a number of beneficial effects including improving senses of relaxation and well being. Use of music during colonoscopy is inconsistent and there are no society guidelines or recommendations regarding its use. The investigators hypothesize that music will improve the overall patient experience and enhance endoscopist performance.The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial to study effects of music on both the patient experience and endoscopist performance during colonoscopy. Eligible patients will be randomized to two groups: a "music group" and a "no music"control group.Patients in the music group will be asked for their preference of music to be played during their colonoscopy. For patients in the music group, this music will be played in the procedure room during the procedure, while those in the control group will have no music playing. Patient anxiety and pain will be assessed both before and after the procedure.Overall patient experience after the procedure will be assessed on a likert scale. The performance of the endoscopist will be assessed by measuring adenoma detection rate and adenomas per colonoscopy. Additional outcomes to be assessed include total procedure time and amount of sedation required.
