ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how gradual muscle exercises can help improve sleep quality for patients undergoing urological surgery. Many of these patients are elderly and may have trouble sleeping due to worries about their health and the surgery itself. Poor sleep can lead to more pain, longer healing times, and difficulties in following treatment plans. By participating in this study, patients will engage in simple muscle exercises to see if this helps them sleep better before and after their surgery.

To be eligible for this trial, participants need to be between 18 and 70 years old and should not have any serious vision or hearing issues that would make it hard for them to share their sleep experiences. They should also not have had any treatments like meditation or yoga in the six months before the study and must not have any major sleep disorders or complications related to their surgery. If you join the study, you will be guided through the exercises and monitored to see how your sleep improves. This could be an opportunity to enhance your recovery experience after surgery.
