Effects of Positive Psychotherapy-Based Education on Pain, Psychological Resilience, and Mental Well-Being After Lumbar Canal Stenosis Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Brain and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimThis study was conducted to investigate the effects of positive psychotherapy-based education on pain, psychological resilience, and mental well-being after lumbar canal stenosis surgery. MATERIALS AND
methodsA randomized controlled experimental study was conducted with 66 participants (33 control, 33 experimental) at the Brain and Neurosurgery Department of Medical Center X between March 2025 and July 2025. The control group received no intervention, while the experimental group received 8 weeks of psychoeducation based on positive psychotherapy. Pretests were administered to the control and experimental groups in March 2025. The training of the experimental group was administered between April 2025 and May 2025. Data collection tools included the Descriptive Characteristics Form, Pain Scale, Brief Resilience Scale, and Mental Well-Being Scale. It was determined that the data showed normal distribution, and parametric tests were used in the analyses. Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were used to compare the descriptive characteristics of the patients in the experimental and control groups. A t-test was applied to the dependent and independent groups to determine the effect of the training.
findingsIn the study, no statistically significant difference was found in the comparison of the pretest pain, psychological resilience, and mental well-being scales of the control and experimental groups (p = 0.259, p = 0.177, p = 0.428). In the study, a statistically significant difference was found in the comparison of the posttest pain, psychological resilience, and mental well-being scales of the control and experimental groups (p = 0.001). In the study, a statistically significant difference was found in the pretest-posttest pain, psychological resilience and mental well-being scale total score averages of the experimental group (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Positive psychotherapy-based education was effective in reducing pain and increasing psychological resilience, and mental well-being in patients after lumbar spinal stenosis surgery. Based on these findings, positive psychotherapy-based education can be recommended as an adjunct to pharmacological treatment for not only physical but also psychological recovery.
