RandomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelTreatment
Summary
In our study the investigators want to evaluate the effects of EFTs (emotional freedom techniques) for reducing incidence of PONV (Postoperative nausea and vomiting). The effects of EFTs have been quiet evident on many aspects if the incidence of PONV is reduced then it will be much valuable adjunct to postoperative management of the patients. Our hypothesis was Emotional freedom techniques are very useful to reduce the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
