What this Trial Is About
This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using a pain diary in the assessment of early postoperative pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients will be randomly assigned to a pain diary group or a control group receiving routine pain assessment. Postoperative pain intensity will be measured at predefined time points using standardized pain assessment tools. The study seeks to improve patient participation in postoperative pain evaluation without introducing additional pharmacological interventions.
