The Power of Healing Statements on Post Operative Pain Control: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Healing Statements for Pelvic Organ Prolapse. Completed, enrolled 32 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This is a randomized clinical trial comparing the severity of post-operative pain and use of pain medication in women who are and are not exposed to healing statements before undergoing vaginal hysterectomy with minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy. The investigators' hypothesis is that those who are read healing statements before surgery will require less post-operative pain medications and experience less severe pain than those who do not hear the statements.
