Personality and Self-Esteem may predict Post-Surgery pain
NCT ID NCT06707818
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 52 adults having cosmetic breast surgery to see if things like self-esteem, anxiety, and personality traits affect how much pain they feel afterward. Before surgery, participants filled out questionnaires about their mental state and pain expectations. After surgery, their pain and recovery were tracked. The goal is to help doctors create better, more personalized pain plans for each patient.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors personalize pain management for patients undergoing cosmetic breast surgery based on their psychological profile.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study with only 52 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It looks at links, not causes, so it cannot prove that changing psychological factors will reduce pain.
