Summary

Through this quantitative, multivariate factorial experimental parallel randomized clinical trial, the investigators analyzed the effectiveness of pre-anesthetic assessment and pain neuroscience education in reducing anxiety, stress, and pain levels in patients undergoing elective total abdominal hysterectomy.

Conditions

  • Pain, Chronic
  • Pain, Postoperative
  • Anesthesia
  • Surgery
  • Anxiety
  • Stress

Interventions

OTHER

Pain Neuroscience Education

One face-to-face Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) session was delivered by a professional certified in PNE, with a duration of approximately 35 minutes. The session addressed the neurobiology and neurophysiology of pain, central sensitization, cortical representation of body regions, pain-related changes in body perception, and psychosocial dimensions of pain. Participants also received standard pre-anesthetic assessment, identical to the usual care group.

OTHER

Usual care

Usual care consisted of standard pre-anesthetic assessment and routine perioperative management, including analgesic medication administered before, during, and after hysterectomy, according to institutional protocols and the clinical judgment of the attending physician.
