Abstract:Regarding perception of procedure-related pain and technical problems in colonoscopy, patients with IBS do not show significant differences compared to patients without IBS.
“…One study of children undergoing endoscopy under conscious sedation showed that those with greater anxiety exhibited more procedure related distress (23). However, studies comparing pain symptoms during colonoscopy between adults with IBS and those with other conditions have been contradictory (22,24).…”
Children with FGID report more usual pain symptoms and may describe more pain after a colonoscopy when compared with children with IBD. Anxiety appears to play a role in pain severity after colonoscopy in children presenting with IBD, but not in children with FGID.

Children with FGID report more usual pain symptoms and may describe more pain after a colonoscopy when compared with children with IBD. Anxiety appears to play a role in pain severity after colonoscopy in children presenting with IBD, but not in children with FGID.
The degree of pain perception during colonoscopy was higher in IBS patients than in non-IBS patients. We concluded that colonoscopy can be useful in identifying IBS patients, with the additional benefit of excluding organic disorders of the lower gastrointestinal tract.
Regarding colonoscopy-related suffering, IBS patients showed significant differences from non-IBS patients. CO(2) insufflation in colonoscopy is effective for IBS patients, particularly for patients who commence activities after colonscopy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
