Summary

This study tested whether soaking feet in warm water for 20 minutes before pituitary tumor surgery helps patients feel less anxious and keeps vital signs stable. 100 adults were enrolled, with one group receiving the foot bath and the other standard care. Researchers measured anxiety, pain, blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate, temperature, and oxygen levels.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
warm water foot bath
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help patients feel calmer before surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with no blinding, so results may be influenced by patient expectations. The effect may not be large or apply to all surgeries.
