Abstract
Objectives: To determine the effect of being exposed to music during a colonoscopy on fentanyl and versed requirements in adult patients at an outpatient gastrointestinal clinic when compared to standardized care.
Design: A triple blind randomized controlled trial.
Setting: The study took place at a large medical center in Upstate New York.
Interventions: Comparing the amounts of sedative medications administered in those who were exposed to music therapy and those who were not during a routine colonoscopy.
Main Outcome Measures: The amounts of fentanyl and versed that were administered during a colonoscopy.
Results: The total number of patients was 101; 54.4% listened to music and 45.5% did not. There was a significant difference in the amount of fentanyl administered between those who were exposed to music compared to those who did not (t(99)= -2.85, p(99)= -2.97, p<0.005).
Conclusions: The amounts of both fentanyl and versed were reduced in those who had music playing during their colonoscopy when compared to those who did not. Music therapy is a safe and cost effective intervention that can be used as adjunct therapy during conscious sedation procedures such as colonoscopies.
