Summary

This study tests two simple, drug-free methods—vibration and breathing exercises—to see if they can reduce pain and anxiety when a chest tube is removed after surgery. About 70 adults will be randomly assigned to vibration, breathing exercises, or standard care. If effective, these low-cost techniques could give nurses an easy way to improve patient comfort.
