First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether heavy smartphone use affects how much pain people feel after nose surgery and how much pain medicine they need. Researchers will follow 100 adults having rhinoplasty and measure their pain scores and painkiller use. The goal is to understand if phone habits play a role in recovery, but no new treatment is being tested.

Who is studied
Sample size was calculated using an effect size derived from a previous study reporting a correlation coefficient of rho = 0.292 between problematic phone use and perceived pain. With a significance level of 0.05 and a statistical power of 80%, a minimum of 91 participants were required. To compensate for an anticipated dropout rate of approximately 10%, the final planned sample size is 100 participants.
