Anxiety before ENT surgery and opioid use after surgery
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether people’s anxiety before ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgery affects how much pain medicine (opioids) they need after surgery. It may help doctors better plan pain control based on anxiety level and possibly gender-related patterns.
