Calming nose spray could ease breast cancer surgery anxiety

This study is testing whether a nasal spray given before surgery can help patients feel calmer and more comfortable during breast-conserving cancer surgery. Researchers will compare the spray to a placebo (saltwater spray) in about 394 women to see if it reduces anxiety, improves sedation during the operation, and helps patients wake up feeling better afterward. The main goal is to see if this approach makes the surgical experience easier and recovery smoother.
