Summary

This study tested if applying warm packs to the feet after gallbladder surgery could reduce pain and bloating. 82 adults were randomly assigned to receive either standard care or standard care plus warm packs on their feet for 15-20 minutes twice daily. Researchers measured pain and abdominal distension at several time points after surgery.
