First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study looked at 71 adults having day surgery to see if heart rate patterns and pupil reflexes can objectively measure anxiety before an operation. Researchers compared these physical signs with patients' own reports of anxiety. The goal was to find a simple, non-invasive way to detect pre-surgery stress without relying only on what patients say.
