Despite current recommendations calling for regular screening flexible sigmoidoscopies over the age of 50, only a small percentage of the population have regular examinations. Improving patient tolerance of flexible sigmoidoscopies could therefore increase patient compliance with these recommended guidelines. The aim of this study was to determine whether audio and visual stimulation reduces discomfort during flexible sigmoidoscopy and whether the effects of the stimulation are secondary to distraction.
