About this study
Official title: The Effect of a Sensory Modulation Room Applied in the Preoperative Period on Pain, Anxiety, and Sleep in Kidney Transplantation: An Innovative Nursing Intervention
The goal of this prospective study is to evaluate whether preoperative exposure to a sensory modulation room can influence postoperative pain, anxiety, and sleep outcomes in adult living kidney donors and recipients. Organ transplantation involves complex surgical experiences that generate substantial physiological and psychological stress. Increased preoperative anxiety, sleep disturbances, and pain perception can adversely affect surgical outcomes and postoperative recovery. Given the limited availability of non-pharmacological nursing interventions for preoperative stress management, examining the effects of sensory modulation as a non-pharmacological approach is of clinical importance. The main questions this study aims to answer are:
- Does preoperative exposure to a sensory modulation room reduce postoperative pain levels compared to standard care?
- Does preoperative exposure to a sensory modulation room reduce preoperative and postoperative anxiety compared to standard care?
- Does preoperative exposure to a sensory modulation room improve postoperative sleep quality compared to standard care?
- How do individual sensory processing profiles influence the effectiveness of sensory modulation on postoperative pain, anxiety, and sleep? Comparison group: Researchers will compare participants who undergo preoperative sensory modulation (intervention group) to participants receiving standard preoperative care (control group) to determine differences in postoperative pain, anxiety, and sleep quality. Participants will: Be adult living kidney donors and recipients scheduled for elective transplantation at the Sakarya Training and Research Hospital Organ Transplant Unit. Undergo a single 15-20 minute sensory modulation session in a specially designed preoperative room equipped with dim lighting, nature videos, relaxing music, and tactile objects (stress balls, grounding mats).

Complete a structured sequence during the intervention: orientation (0-5 min), visual stimulation with nature video (5-10 min), auditory stimulation with music (10-15 min), free sensory exploration (15-20 min), followed by questionnaires assessing immediate effects (20-25 min).
Complete study instruments including a Demographic Information Form, the Adult Sensory Processing Questionnaire, the Surgical Anxiety Scale, the Athens Insomnia Scale, and a Visual Analogue Scale for pain. Be monitored postoperatively, with primary outcomes (pain, anxiety, and sleep quality) measured on postoperative day 3 to ensure clinical stability and reliable self-reporting. The study sample is planned to include 40 participants (20 donors and 20 recipients) using sequential assignment rather than randomization to minimize cross-group interaction and behavioral contamination. Control group participants will receive routine preoperative care including surgical preparation, laboratory testing, and standard clinical monitoring, without structured relaxation or sensory modulation interventions. All participants will be evaluated at identical time points using the same assessment tools.
It has received ethical approval from the Sakarya University Health Sciences Scientific Research Ethics Committee (Date: 18.11.2025, Approval No: E-43012747-050.04-533621-570), and informed consent will be obtained from all participants in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Data analysis will be conducted using SPSS 25.0.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Preoperative Sensory Modulation SessionBehavioural
Participants will undergo a 15-20 minute session in a specially designed sensory modulation room after completing the first part of the informational consent form. The room is equipped with dim lighting, nature videos, calming music, tactile objects (stress balls, grounding mat), and relaxing audiovisual stimuli. The intervention follows a structured protocol: 0-5 min orientation, 5-10 min nature video, 10-15 min music listening, 15-20 min free sensory exploration, and 20-25 min post-session questionnaire. Duration, content, and environmental conditions are standardized for all participants and delivered by a single trained researcher. This intervention aims to promote attention regulation, sensory modulation, and autonomic nervous system balance. It is a single-session, structured experimental intervention applied in addition to standard preoperative care in kidney transplant patients.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Postoperative Pain
Patient-reported pain intensity assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (min:0-max:10), with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating worst imaginable pain.
Measured: Postoperative Day 3
Secondary outcomes (1)
Preoperative and Postoperative Anxiety
Anxiety levels measured using the Surgical Anxiety Scale, with higher scores indicating greater anxiety.It is a five-point Likert-type scale with a possible score range of 0-68, where higher scores indicate higher levels of anxiety.
Measured: Preoperative and Postoperative Day 3

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Preoperative Sensory Modulation Session in people with Renal Transplantation and Transplant Donation, run by Sakarya University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
