Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Patients undergoing colonoscopy were divided into progressive relaxation exercises and control groups. Pretest and posttest abdominal pain and distention scores of the patients were determined after colonoscopy.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental Group

The experimental group was informed about progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) before colonoscopy. PMR audio recordings were given to the patients. Abdominal pain and distention scores were determined after colonoscopy. PMR was applied to the patients for 30 minutes. These scores were determined again after exercise and at the 2nd, 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, and 24th hours.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

PMR is a technique that provides relaxation in the whole body by voluntary and regular relaxation of large muscle groups in the human body, which is included in mind-body applications.

Control Group

VAS pain and VAS distension scores of the control group were determined after colonoscopy and 30 minutes later. VAS form was given to all patients to determine VAS abdominal pain and VAS distension scores at the 2nd, 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th and 24th hours after the procedure. The day after the colonoscopy, post test data were collected.
