NCT ID NCT03355404
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether walking to the operating room instead of being taken on a stretcher can lower anxiety before surgery. Over 1,200 adults having different types of surgery took part. Researchers measured anxiety using a standard questionnaire. The goal was to see if this simple change in how patients are brought to the operating room makes them feel less anxious.
