Suggerimento Verbale per Ridurre il Dolore e l'Ansia Durante la Colonscopia Senza Sedazione
Migliorare il Comfort del Paziente Senza Sedazione: L'Impatto del Suggerimento Verbale sull'Ansia e il Dolore Durante la Colonscopia
Colonoscopy is an important diagnostic and screening procedure for colorectal diseases, but it can cause pain and anxiety, especially when performed without sedation. Verbal suggestion techniques - in which the physician provides calm, positive, and encouraging communication during the procedure - may help reduce these unpleasant experiences.
This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effect of verbal suggestion on pain and anxiety levels of patients undergoing unsedated colonoscopy. Sixty adult patients will be randomly assigned to either a verbal suggestion group or a control group. In the verbal suggestion group, the endoscopist will use positive and supportive phrases during the procedure (for example: "You are doing great," "Take a deep breath, we'll get through this easily"). The control group will undergo colonoscopy without any verbal intervention.
Pain will be assessed using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and anxiety will be measured with the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) before and after the procedure. Heart rate will also be monitored as an objective indicator of anxiety.
The goal of this study is to determine whether verbal suggestion can improve patient comfort and tolerance during colonoscopy without sedation, potentially providing a low-cost and practical method to enhance patient experience.

Armi e interventi
Gruppo di partecipanti / Arm |
Intervento / Trattamento |
|---|---|
|
Sperimentale: Verbal Suggestion Group
Patients undergoing unsedated colonoscopy will receive positive verbal suggestion from the endoscopist throughout the procedure (e.g., "You are doing great," "Take a deep breath," "It will be over soon.") |
During unsedated colonoscopy, the endoscopist will use positive verbal suggestions aimed at reducing patients' anxiety and perceived pain. The phrases include encouraging and calming statements such as "You are doing well," "Take a deep breath," and "We're almost done." The communication is supportive, consistent, and non-directive throughout the procedure. |
|
Nessun intervento: Control Group
Patients undergoing unsedated colonoscopy will receive standard communication without verbal suggestion during the procedure. |

Misura Descrizione |
Lasso di tempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in anxiety level before and after colonoscopy
Lasso di tempo: Immediately before and within 10 minutes after the procedure
|
Anxiety will be assessed using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). BAI scores will be obtained immediately before the procedure and within 10 minutes after completion of the colonoscopy. Higher scores indicate greater anxiety. |
Immediately before and within 10 minutes after the procedure

Pain intensity during colonoscopy
Lasso di tempo: During colonoscopy
|
Pain intensity will be assessed using an 11-point Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Pain scores will be recorded at 5 minutes after the start of the procedure and at 10-minute intervals thereafter during colonoscopy. |
