Summary
This study tested whether a brief guided visualization exercise before sedation can improve the anesthesia experience for people undergoing oral surgery. 128 patients were split into two groups: one received the visualization plus standard instructions, the other only standard instructions. Researchers measured anxiety, pain, medication use, and recovery time to see if the mental exercise made a difference.
