Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This pilot randomized controlled trial evaluates an online mindfulness-based intervention designed to reduce anxiety in patients undergoing their first screening colonoscopy. The study reports on the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the program among 100 participants compared to usual care. Results indicate high participant satisfaction and a statistically significant reduction in anxiety scores for those who completed follow-up, though the overall difference was not significant due to retention issues.
