Healing Statements and Their Effect on Post Operative Pain
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Pelvic Organ Prolapse
In brief
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.
