Brief summary: 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.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients undergoing colonoscopy
* Those who do not have communication problems,
* After the colonoscopy procedure, the abdominal pain score is evaluated by VAS and is 4 or higher,
* Evaluation of the distension score of 4 and above with VAS after the colonoscopy procedure,
* Be 18 years old or older.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Being a hospitalized patient undergoing colonoscopy,
* Be younger than 18 years old
* To have used complementary and alternative methods during the research,
* Any physical problem that may prevent you from doing the exercises,
* Having a cognitive illness
* Refusing to participate in the research,
* Failing to complete surveys.
