Cold packs vs. massage: nurses test simple tricks to avoid catheters after surgery

NCT ID NCT07293000

Summary

This study compares two simple nursing methods to help prevent trouble emptying the bladder after surgery with spinal anesthesia. Adult patients having certain surgeries will be randomly assigned to receive either a cold pack on the lower belly, a gentle massage on the lower back, or usual care only. Researchers will check if these non-invasive methods reduce the need for urinary catheters and improve patient comfort during recovery.
