TENS for Anxiety, Pain, and Satisfaction After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

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.
