Pain catastrophizing and postoperative nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic gallbladder removal

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, cross-sectional observational study of adults undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Preoperative assessments include the Pain Catastrophizing Scale and a pain rating during IV cannulation. Postoperative nausea and vomiting will be recorded at multiple time points within the first 24 hours after surgery. The study will explore whether higher catastrophizing and painful experiences during cannulation are linked to greater postoperative nausea and vomiting, using Turkish-validated PCS data. Results could improve understanding of psychological factors in postoperative symptoms and inform anesthesia practices.
