Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive device called TENS, which delivers mild electrical currents through the skin, can reduce anxiety and pain and improve satisfaction in 80 adults having laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Participants will receive either standard care or TENS before and after surgery. The goal is to see if this simple technique can make recovery more comfortable.
