First seen May 06, 2026 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tested whether a brief guided visualization exercise, done just before sedation, can improve the anesthesia experience for people having oral surgery. 128 patients were split into two groups: one received the visualization plus standard instructions, the other only standard instructions. Researchers measured anxiety, pain, medication use, and recovery time to see if the visualization made a difference.
