TENS for Anxiety, Pain, and Satisfaction After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Sponsor: Nigde Omer Halisdemir University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This study is designed to evaluate whether Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) can improve recovery for patients undergoing laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy). TENS is a non-invasive method that uses mild electrical currents applied through the skin to stimulate nerves. The main goals of the study are to determine if TENS can: Reduce surgical anxiety before and during the procedure Decrease postoperative pain after surgery Improve overall patient satisfaction with their surgical experience Patients who participate will receive standard surgical care, and some will also receive TENS therapy. Outcomes will be measured using patient questionnaires and clinical assessments during the hospital stay and follow-up period. By comparing patients who receive TENS with those who do not, the study aims to provide evidence on whether this simple technique can enhance comfort and recovery after gallbladder surgery.

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a non-invasive device-based intervention that delivers mild electrical currents through electrodes placed on intact skin. In this study, TENS will be applied perioperatively to patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The stimulation sessions will be conducted before and after surgery, following standardized clinical parameters to ensure safety and reproducibility. The intervention is designed to evaluate its effects on surgical anxiety, postoperative pain intensity, and patient satisfaction compared with standard care.
