Pain Catastrophizing and Nausea After Gallbladder Surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how a person's tendency to focus on and feel overwhelmed by pain (called 'pain catastrophizing') might affect nausea and vomiting after gallbladder surgery. If you are scheduled for keyhole gallbladder removal, you may help doctors better predict and prevent post-surgery nausea.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
