NCT ID NCT07065188
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how being very aware of pain before vaginal surgery affects pain, bladder and bowel function, and sexual life after surgery. Researchers tracked 77 women before and after their operation using questionnaires. The goal was to see if pain hypervigilance leads to worse outcomes, helping doctors better prepare patients for surgery.
