Impact of Topical Aromatherapy on Postoperative Quality of Recovery After Lung Resection
Sponsor: University Hospital, Toulouse
Summary
The key to early surgery recovery lies in optimal and immediate control of postoperative pain. Despite standard pain management protocols, lung resection is often associated with acute, neuropathic, or chronic pain, compounded by the side effects of morphine-based treatments. In this context, aromatherapy can provide complementary support, both to alleviate pain and to improve the quality of recovery after surgery.
