Role of Music Listening in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Gastrointestinal endoscopy is widely acknowledged as the most useful tool for diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal mucosal lesions. It can not only observe the mucosa directly, but also obtain tissue biopsy for pathological diagnosis. Although the importance of gastrointestinal endoscopy has been well understood, there are still a certain proportion of people who are unwilling to undergo it due to the discomfort and anxiety during the procedures. Music is multifunctional, which can alleviate people's depression, anxiety and other negative emotions as well as help to maintain good mental health. Thus, in this study we aim to investigate the role of music listening in gastrointestinal endoscopy in a randomized controlled clinical trial, especially for those patients who plan to undergo therapeutic endoscopic procedures and try to improve the patients' experience.

Detailed Description
-----------------
This is a randomized controlled trial to examine the function of music listening in the procedures of gastrointestinal endoscopy. It was previously reported that music listening may exert beneficial effects for patients who undergo gastrointestinal endoscopy. However, most of the studies did not analyze the effects of the specific music type and listening time in diagnostic and therapeutic gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures, respectively. This study will test whether the specific music type and listening time before gastrointestinal endoscopy could improve patients' experience of the procedure in a randomized controlled trial. The results may help to optimize the routine clinical practice at present.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Pain score | A 10-point scale was used to evaluate the patients' pain (0 least, 10 most). All the discomforts such as abdominal pain, distension and the like were all recorded. | 4 months | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Patients' satisfaction and willingness to undergo gastrointestinal endoscopy again | A 10-point scale was used to evaluate the patients' satisfaction (0 worst, 10 best). It is anticipated that the use of music listening will significantly improve patients' satisfaction. | 4 months |
