A 5-Minute video before surgery could ease pain and build trust
NCT ID NCT07767344
First seen Aug 17, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests whether showing patients a short educational video before gallbladder surgery can improve their trust in the doctor, reduce anxiety, and lessen postoperative pain. About 62 adults scheduled for laparoscopic gallbladder removal will either receive standard verbal information or that plus a video explaining the nerve-block procedure used for pain control. Researchers will measure trust, anxiety, pain levels, and painkiller use to see if the video makes a meaningful difference.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Video-based preoperative education about the TAP block procedure
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this simple educational video could become a standard way to improve trust, reduce anxiety, and lessen pain after gallbladder surgery.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is small and early, so results may not apply broadly. The video's impact on pain and trust could be minimal, and individual responses may vary.
