Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this randomized pilot study is to collect preliminary data on the impacts of lavender essential oil aromatherapy on the patient-reported quality of pain management provided for the vascular surgery patient population. The investigators hypothesize that individuals who use a lavender aromastick as a part of their pain management plan will report improved perceptions of the quality of their pain management as measured by the Revised American Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire (APS-POQ-R). Subjects will be randomized to the control (empty aromastick) and intervention group (aromastick infused with lavender oil), and will use this device as an addition to their pain management plan. Additionally, this pilot study will allow the researchers to evaluate the feasibility of a larger randomized control trial, assess the validity of the survey tool, and collect feedback from patients on the acceptability of the aromatherapy intervention as a complementary therapy during their hospital stay.
