Name of journal: Female pelvic medicine & reconstructive surgeryAbstract: CONCLUSIONS: No differences in postoperative pain, analgesic use, return of bowel and bladder function, or pelvic organ prolapse symptoms were noted in participants receiving perioperative therapeutic suggestion versus routine perioperative care.METHODS: This was a single-blinded, randomized controlled trial of participants undergoing vaginal hysterectomy with minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy and concomitant prolapse repairs. The intervention group received perioperative therapeutic suggestion, whereas the control group did not. Primary outcomes included postoperative pain scores and analgesic use. Secondary outcomes included a postoperative nausea and vomiting scale, the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory Questionnaire-Short Form 20, the Patient Global Impression of Improvement scale, and time to return of bowel and bladder function.OBJECTIVES: There is conflicting research on the effect of therapeutic suggestion in the perioperative period. This study systematically compared subjective and objective measures of postoperative pain, nausea and vomiting, urinary and bowel function, and global perception of symptomatic improvement between participants receiving perioperative therapeutic suggestion versus routine perioperative care during minimally invasive pelvic reconstructive surgery.RESULTS: Sixteen participants were randomized to each group. Final analysis included 15 intervention and 14 control participants. Overall measures of postoperative pain and analgesic use were low across all participants without a significant difference between intervention and control groups (opioid: 52.5; interquartile range [IQR], 25.5-58.9 vs 66 IQR, 7.3-125.8; morphine milligram equivalents; P = 0.64; acetaminophen: 2225 mg; IQR, 500-2600 mg vs 2800 mg; IQR, 650-4775 mg; P = 0.38). There were no statistically significant differences in secondary outcomes of urinary symptoms, bowel function, and subjective improvement of prolapse symptoms.All authors: Andriani LA, Iglesia CB, Ingraham CF, Mofidi JL, Shah NM, Tefera EAOriginally published: Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive Surgery. 2020 Jun 10Fiscal year: FY2021Fiscal year of original publication: FY2020Digital Object Identifier: Date added to catalog: 2020-08-26

CONCLUSIONS: No differences in postoperative pain, analgesic use, return of bowel and bladder function, or pelvic organ prolapse symptoms were noted in participants receiving perioperative therapeutic suggestion versus routine perioperative care.

METHODS: This was a single-blinded, randomized controlled trial of participants undergoing vaginal hysterectomy with minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy and concomitant prolapse repairs. The intervention group received perioperative therapeutic suggestion, whereas the control group did not. Primary outcomes included postoperative pain scores and analgesic use. Secondary outcomes included a postoperative nausea and vomiting scale, the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory Questionnaire-Short Form 20, the Patient Global Impression of Improvement scale, and time to return of bowel and bladder function.

OBJECTIVES: There is conflicting research on the effect of therapeutic suggestion in the perioperative period. This study systematically compared subjective and objective measures of postoperative pain, nausea and vomiting, urinary and bowel function, and global perception of symptomatic improvement between participants receiving perioperative therapeutic suggestion versus routine perioperative care during minimally invasive pelvic reconstructive surgery.

RESULTS: Sixteen participants were randomized to each group. Final analysis included 15 intervention and 14 control participants. Overall measures of postoperative pain and analgesic use were low across all participants without a significant difference between intervention and control groups (opioid: 52.5; interquartile range [IQR], 25.5-58.9 vs 66 IQR, 7.3-125.8; morphine milligram equivalents; P = 0.64; acetaminophen: 2225 mg; IQR, 500-2600 mg vs 2800 mg; IQR, 650-4775 mg; P = 0.38). There were no statistically significant differences in secondary outcomes of urinary symptoms, bowel function, and subjective improvement of prolapse symptoms.
