Effects of Lavender Aromatherapy on Patient Anxiety During Mohs Micrographic Surgery

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This study aims to improve patient comfort by exploring the potential of lavender aromatherapy in reducing anxiety and unpleasant odor perception during Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS). Lavender has been widely studied for its sedative-like properties and calming effects, both in medical and dental settings. By investigating the impact of lavender aromatherapy on patient anxiety levels during MMS, we seek to provide evidence-based insights into non- pharmacological interventions that can enhance the overall comfort and experience of participants.
