Summary

This study tests whether bright green light can help reduce pain and the need for painkillers after surgery. Sixty adults having laparoscopic or robotic surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either bright green light or normal dim light in their hospital room. Researchers will measure pain levels, sleep quality, mood, and overall recovery to see if green light offers any benefits.
