Summary

This study tests whether a 20-minute hot water foot bath can reduce pain and help patients pass gas sooner after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. 62 adults will be randomly assigned to receive the foot bath or standard care. The goal is to see if this simple, drug-free method improves recovery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
hot water foot bath
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to ease pain and help patients pass gas faster after gallbladder surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 62 participants. The effect may be small or no better than standard care, and results may not apply to all patients.
