Secondary outcomes
Level of anxiety
Level of anxiety is measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Form Y) scale
Level of pain
pain level measured by self-evaluation via a visual analog scale between 0 and 10 cm, at the consultation, before and after the colonoscopy in both groups and during the procedure, before returning to the room only in the Hypnosis group. The doctor will present the ungraded side of the VAS to the patient and ask him/her to place the cursor on the maximum pain intensity felt during the procedure.
