Mind over matter: pain catastrophizing may predict Post-Surgery nausea

NCT ID NCT07712211

First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026

Summary

This study investigates whether a patient's tendency to catastrophize pain—focusing on or exaggerating it—is linked to nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Before surgery, participants complete a questionnaire measuring pain catastrophizing and rate their pain during IV insertion. After surgery, nausea and vomiting are tracked for 24 hours. The findings could help identify patients who might benefit from extra anti-nausea measures.
