Effect of Foot Bath After Colonoscopy
Sponsor: Kocaeli University
Summary
This randomized controlled trial evaluated whether a 30-minute foot bath with warm water (40-41°C) after colonoscopy reduces post-procedure pain and abdominal distension and shortens the time to first passage of flatus. Ninety adults undergoing planned colonoscopy were randomized to a foot bath group or standard care. Pain and distension were assessed using a visual analog scale at 0, 15, and 30 minutes after the procedure. Time to first flatus and overall satisfaction were also recorded.
