This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether lavender aromatherapy can help reduce anxiety and pain during awake ear, nose, and throat procedures performed in an outpatient clinic. Some patients will inhale lavender scent from a cotton ball before the procedure and through a diffuser during it, while others will receive a placebo (an odorless liquid) instead. Researchers want to see if the lavender helps people feel more comfortable and less anxious during their procedure.
Many patients feel anxious and experience pain during awake ear, nose, and throat procedures in the clinic. This trial is exploring whether a simple, natural approach like lavender aromatherapy could be an easy way to help patients feel calmer and more comfortable without needing additional medications.

You will come to the clinic for your scheduled ear, nose, and throat procedure as planned. Before the procedure starts, you will smell either lavender or placebo on a cotton ball. During your procedure, you will continue to be exposed to the scent through a diffuser. You will complete two very short questionnaires—one before and one after your procedure—that ask about your anxiety level, pain level, and whether you found the scent helpful. The entire participation is brief and fits around your regular procedure.
