A Study to Evaluate Pain Catastrophizing and Coping in Colorectal Surgery Patients

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of preoperative implementation of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on patient pain perception and opioid use in patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery. Implementing pre-operative CBT will decrease patient’s pain perception, improve patient’s post-operative recovery satisfaction, and reduce use of opioid medications.
