Can a simple story calm nerves before skin cancer surgery?
NCT ID NCT03756792
Summary
This study aimed to understand and potentially reduce anxiety in patients undergoing Mohs surgery, a common outpatient procedure for skin cancer. Researchers compared anxiety levels between first-time patients and those returning for another surgery. They also tested whether reading a short story about a typical patient's experience could help lower anxiety before the procedure.
