Cyclic Sighing Breathing to Help with Discomfort, Pain, and Sleep After TUR

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective, two-arm randomized controlled trial conducted at Hatay Iskenderun State Hospital. It compares a cyclic sighing breathing exercise started before surgery and performed after surgery against routine postoperative care in adults undergoing TUR procedures with a catheter. The primary outcomes are CRBD severity and pain at multiple postoperative time points, plus sleep quality assessed the morning after surgery. A total of 76 participants are randomized in blocks to ensure balanced groups. The study aims to determine if a simple breathing technique can improve recovery without added medications.
