Abstract: (16 Views)
Background and Aim: Anxiety, sleep disorders, and postoperative pain are common challenges in patients with limb fractures undergoing orthopedic surgery. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of Recolic syrup (containing Matricaria and Pimpinella anisum extracts and honey) on anxiety, sleep quality, and vital signs after orthopedic surgery.
Materials and Methods: This clinical trial was conducted on 100 patients with upper limb fractures at Valiasr Hospital in Arak, Iran, in 2023. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups: intervention (receiving Recolic syrup) and placebo. The syrup was administered twice, immediately after regaining consciousness and 6 hours later, with 10 ml given each time. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients. Data collection tools included the Spielberger Anxiety Inventory, the Hospital Sleep Questionnaire, and vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and respiratory rate), which were recorded before and after the intervention. The data were analyzed using the SPSS software (version 23) and employing independent t-tests, paired t-tests, and chi-square tests.
Findings: The results indicated that the mean anxiety score 6 hours post-operation was 50.58±11.06 in the control group and 43.74±11.71 in the intervention group, meaning that Ricolic syrup significantly reduced patients' anxiety 6 hours after surgery (P=0.0002). However, no significant effect was observed on pain, sleep quality, or vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and respiratory rate).
Conclusion: Recolic syrup can be effective as a non-invasive and low-complication method for reducing anxiety after orthopedic surgery. However, its effects on pain, sleep quality, and vital signs require further investigation.
