NCT ID NCT07252817

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether daily phone calls after day surgery help patients control pain better than a single call the next morning. 280 adults having hernia repair, gallbladder removal, hemorrhoid surgery, or knee/shoulder arthroscopy took part. The goal was to see if more frequent follow-up improves recovery quality and pain scores.
