Summary

This study tests whether smelling lavender essential oil during awake ear, nose, and throat procedures can lower anxiety and pain. About 184 adults will be randomly assigned to receive either lavender aromatherapy or a placebo (odorless liquid). Participants will rate their anxiety and pain before and after the procedure. The goal is to see if this simple, non-drug approach improves patient comfort.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Lavender essential oil
What this could lead to
If it works, lavender aromatherapy could become a simple, drug-free option to help patients feel more relaxed and comfortable during minor procedures.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with a small sample size. The effect may be small or due to placebo, and results may not apply to all procedures or patients.
