Calm before the knife: sensory room may ease transplant recovery
NCT ID NCT07533669
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a 15-20 minute session in a specially designed sensory modulation room before kidney transplant surgery can reduce pain, anxiety, and sleep problems afterward. The room has dim lights, nature videos, calming music, and tactile objects like stress balls. Researchers will compare 40 adult kidney donors and recipients who get this session to those who receive standard care, measuring outcomes on the third day after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- sensory modulation session (dim lighting, nature videos, calming music, tactile objects)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help kidney transplant patients feel less pain and anxiety and sleep better after surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The effect may be small or no different from standard care.
