Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of melatonin, diazepam, and placebo
on the level of anxiety in patients undergoing surgery. The main question it aims to answer
is:
• Is melatonin effective in reducing the anxiety of patients undergoing surgery? Participants
will be asked to answer a questionnaire then they will receive either melatonin, diazepam, or
placebo, and then after an hour, they will answer the same questionnaire again.
Researchers will compare melatonin, diazepam, and placebo to see if melatonin is as effective
in reducing the level of anxiety as diazepam in patients undergoing surgery.
