Clinical Trial

Pain response after psychological preparation for repeated periodontal surgery



SH Croog, RM Baume, and J Nalbandian
School of Dental Medicine, University of Connecticut Health Center, Farmington 06030-3910.

The effects of pre-surgery intervention messages on postsurgical pain and recovery in 42 female patients were compared. Each participant was scheduled for at least two periodontal surgeries and exposed to one of four messages before each surgery. Auditory and visual messages classified as "control enhancement" were associated with reduction of pain after the second surgery with no effect after the first surgery.
