Summary

This study tests whether a brief video that familiarizes patients with the operating room environment can reduce postoperative pain and anxiety in men undergoing prostate surgery for benign enlargement. Participants will be randomly assigned to watch the video either the day before surgery, about 30 minutes before surgery in the waiting area, or receive standard information. Researchers will measure anxiety and pain levels before and after surgery to see if the timing of the video makes a difference.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A 5-minute video that shows patients what to expect in the operating room and during surgery, given either the day before or shortly before the procedure.
What this could lead to
If effective, this simple video could become a standard way to ease anxiety and pain for people undergoing prostate surgery, improving recovery without medication.
What could go wrong
The trial is relatively small and early, and the benefit may be modest. The video's effect could vary depending on individual patient factors or the timing of delivery.
