Summary
This study tested whether vibration therapy, alone or with cold, could reduce pain and anxiety when chest tubes are removed after heart bypass surgery. 93 adults were randomly assigned to vibration, vibration plus cold, or standard care. Results showed both vibration methods lowered pain and anxiety, with the combination working best. This offers a safe, drug-free option for nurses to help patients during a stressful procedure.
