Summary

This study is designed to evaluate whether Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) can improve recovery for patients undergoing laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy). TENS is a non-invasive method that uses mild electrical currents applied through the skin to stimulate nerves.

The main goals of the study are to determine if TENS can:

Reduce surgical anxiety before and during the procedure

Decrease postoperative pain after surgery

Improve overall patient satisfaction with their surgical experience

Patients who participate will receive standard surgical care, and some will also receive TENS therapy. Outcomes will be measured using patient questionnaires and clinical assessments during the hospital stay and follow-up period.

By comparing patients who receive TENS with those who do not, the study aims to provide evidence on whether this simple technique can enhance comfort and recovery after gallbladder surgery.

Conditions

  • Gallstone Disease
  • Postoperative Pain
  • Surgical Anxiety
  • Patient Satisfaction After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a non-invasive device-based intervention that delivers mild electrical currents through electrodes placed on intact skin. In this study, TENS will be applied perioperatively to patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The stimulation sessions will be conducted before and after surgery, following standardized clinical parameters to ensure safety and reproducibility. The intervention is designed to evaluate its effects on surgical anxiety, postoperative pain intensity, and patient satisfaction compared with standard care.
