Predicting post-surgery pain from IV start pain and anxiety
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the pain you feel when an IV is placed and your pre-surgery anxiety level can help predict how much pain you'll have after gallbladder surgery. This could lead to better pain management for similar operations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether TENS, a mild electrical therapy, can reduce pain and anxiety after gallbladder removal. If you are having planned gallbladder surgery and are in good health, you may be able to participate.
This study looks at how talking to an anesthesiologist before surgery affects your worry and how happy you are with your care. It compares different ways of checking anxiety to find which one works best.
This study tests whether a pain-relief medication called Anrikefon, given before laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery, helps reduce pain after the procedure. Laparoscopic surgery uses small cuts and a camera, so it's less invasive than open surgery.
This study looks at how talking with a doctor before surgery affects your anxiety. It's for people having planned or urgent orthopedic surgery (like bone or joint procedures).
This study looks at pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It may help find better ways to manage discomfort after surgery.
This study looks at whether pain you feel before emergency surgery affects long-term pain after the surgery. It may help doctors find ways to prevent chronic pain in patients who have emergency orthopedic (bone/joint) or abdominal (belly) surgery.
