Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive device called TENS, which delivers mild electrical currents through the skin, can reduce anxiety and pain and improve satisfaction in 80 adults having laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Participants will receive either standard care or TENS before and after surgery. The goal is to see if this simple technique can make recovery more comfortable.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to ease anxiety and pain and improve satisfaction for people undergoing gallbladder surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 80 participants. The results may not apply to everyone, and TENS may not provide meaningful benefits over standard care.
