About this trial

This study aims to explore whether patients' tendency to exaggerate or focus on pain (pain catastrophizing) is related to experiencing nausea and vomiting after surgery. The study will include patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Before surgery, patients will answer questions measuring pain catastrophizing and rate their pain during intravenous cannulation. Nausea and vomiting will be assessed at various times during the first 24 hours after surgery. The results may help better understand how psychological factors affect postoperative symptoms.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV)

The primary outcome is the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) according to preoperative Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) scores. Patients will be evaluated for PONV at 0, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively. The relationship between PCS scores and the frequency of PONV will be analyzed.

Time frame
Within 24 hours postoperatively

Secondary outcomes

1

Association between IV cannulation pain and pain catastrophizing

The secondary outcome is the relationship between pain experienced during intravenous (IV) cannulation and preoperative Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) scores. Pain during IV access will be measured using a numeric rating scale (0-10). The association between IV pain scores and PCS scores will be analyzed

Time frame
Preoperative period
