Three Distraction Methods for Pain Reduction During Colonoscopy

The study was divided into three stages; before; during; and after colonoscopy. Patient's hemodynamics parameters, including systolic and diastolic blood pressures, heart rate, and oxygen saturation, were measured about 5 to 10 min before, during and within 10 min after the colonoscopy procedure was complete. All of the patients who participated in the study underwent the standard protocol used in the Endoscopy Unit of our institution. Colonoscopy was performed on patients in all groups without the use of anesthesia. After positioning the patients in the left lateral position for the colonoscopy procedure, and vemcain local anesthetic and vaseline was applied to the anal area before starting colonoscopy using a Fujinon flexible colonoscope. The music group listened to Acemasiran-type classical Turkish music.Acemasiran-type music affects the human brain and provides a sense of creativity to people. This musical tone has pain- relieving and antispasmodic

The stress ball group was given stress balls which was medium hard and made of high-quality silicone approximately 10 minutes before colonoscopy. The patients in stress ball group were instructed to squeeze the balls twice after counting up to five and repeat until the end of the entire procedure."

Video group allowed to watch a licensed virtual reality application,A walk on the beach, through an Android mobile phone placed in Cardboard Super Flex Goggles, started 10 minute before the colonoscopy until the procedure was completed."
