Summary

This study tests whether a warm foot bath on the night of abdominal surgery can reduce pain, improve sleep, and increase comfort. Around 96 adults will be randomly assigned to receive a foot bath or standard care. Researchers will measure pain levels and sleep quality using simple questionnaires.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
foot bath device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to ease pain and improve sleep after abdominal surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 96 participants. The effect may be small or not work for everyone. It also requires no infections or wounds on the feet.
