First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study looks at whether teaching patients a specific deep breathing method (the 4-7-8 technique) before and after gallbladder removal surgery can lower pain, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep quality. About 100 adults having laparoscopic gallbladder surgery will be split into two groups: one will practice the breathing exercise regularly, and the other will receive standard care. The goal is to see if this simple, drug-free approach helps people recover more comfortably.
