This study tests whether taking melatonin (a natural sleep hormone) before elective gallbladder removal surgery helps patients recover better and feel less pain or discomfort afterward. Melatonin may help reduce stress on the body during surgery.
This study looks at how sleep changes for adults after surgery under general anesthesia. Researchers want to understand patients' experiences with sleep during recovery.
This study tests whether listening to white noise after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery can help you sleep better and recover more comfortably. White noise is a steady, soothing sound that can mask other noises and promote relaxation.
This trial tests a simple breathing technique (4-7-8 method) to see if it can help reduce pain, anxiety, and improve sleep after gallbladder removal surgery. If you're having this surgery, you might find this relaxation method helpful during recovery.
This study focuses on how people feel after having their gallbladder removed for painful, symptomatic gallstones. You may be asked to fill out questionnaires to compare quality of life after surgery and help researchers understand what recovery feels like for patients.
This study looks at how weight-loss surgery affects your sleep. You'll wear a small monitoring device and fill out sleep questionnaires before and after surgery to help researchers understand sleep changes.
