Abstract

Background: Since surgical interventions often cause damage to tissues, which in turn stimulates the central nervous system, postoperative pain is unavoidable. Objectives: The current study aimed to investigate the effects of French lavender on pain and the amount of medications prescribed to reduce post-appendectomy pain. Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 120 patients undergoing acute abdominal surgery are recruited. The intervention was defined as inhaling the essential oil of lavender, while those in the placebo group inhaled almond oil. Pain measurement was performed at baseline, half an hour after the first intervention, and after providing the second and third interventions using the Visual Analogue Scale. Results: At all stages of the study, the lavender aroma was associated with a significant reduction in pain (P < 0.0001). Also, the pain intensity was significantly lower in the intervention group than the control (P < 0.0001). Conclusions: The current study demonstrated that aromatherapy is an effective complementary option to reduce postoperative pain and as an analgesic drug.

法国薰衣草芳香疗法对阑尾切除术后疼痛水平和处方药物量的影响:一项单盲随机临床试验
背景:由于手术干预经常造成组织损伤,进而刺激中枢神经系统,术后疼痛是不可避免的。目的:本研究旨在探讨法国薰衣草对疼痛的影响以及减少阑尾切除术后疼痛的药物用量。方法:在这项随机临床试验中,招募了120例急性腹部手术患者。干预被定义为吸入薰衣草精油,而安慰剂组吸入杏仁油。疼痛测量在基线、第一次干预后半小时、第二次和第三次干预后使用视觉模拟量表进行。结果:在研究的所有阶段,薰衣草香气与疼痛的显著减轻有关(P < 0.0001)。干预组疼痛强度明显低于对照组(P < 0.0001)。结论:目前的研究表明,芳香疗法是一种有效的补充选择,以减少术后疼痛和镇痛药物。
