Study: Do visual aids help patients understand anesthesia consent?
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding visual aids (like pictures or diagrams) to the standard consent form helps patients better understand their anesthesia plan. It may be a good fit if you are scheduled for planned surgery and can read Turkish.
