4-7-8 breathing for shoulder pain after gallbladder surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a simple breathing technique (called 4-7-8 breathing) can help reduce shoulder pain and improve breathing after gallbladder removal surgery. It may be a good fit if you are having planned laparoscopic gallbladder surgery and staying overnight in the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
