This study tests whether breathing in a special aromatherapy scent can help reduce pain and anxiety during a wound cleaning procedure (sharp debridement) for people with venous leg ulcers. It compares the aromatherapy to a placebo (a blank scent) to see if it makes the procedure more comfortable.
This study tests whether breathing in relaxing scents before surgery can reduce anxiety and pain. If effective, it could offer a simple, drug-free way to help you feel calmer during your procedure.
This study tests how well sensory tests and pain mapping can predict recovery after lung surgery. If you are a man scheduled for minimally invasive lung surgery, you may be able to join to help doctors understand and manage post-surgery pain better.
This trial tests if smelling lavender (aromatherapy) can help reduce nausea and vomiting that happens after stomach surgery. If you are between 18 and 65, had general anesthesia, and are currently feeling sick to your stomach, this study may be an option.
This trial tests if acupressure can help reduce pain and improve lung function after a first-time chest surgery. It may offer a non-drug way to support recovery.
This study tests whether injecting a numbing medicine and anti-inflammatory steroid around the surgical area before lung surgery reduces pain after the procedure. If it works, it could help patients recover more comfortably after thoracoscopic lung surgery (minimally invasive lung surgery using small cameras).
