What this trial studies
This study investigates how preoperative education combined with intraoperative music therapy can reduce anxiety and pain in patients undergoing elective cesarean sections. Patients will be randomly assigned to either receive both preoperative education and music therapy or just routine education. The intervention includes personalized music played during surgery and for a short period afterward, with evaluations conducted at various time points to assess anxiety, pain, and recovery outcomes. The goal is to determine if this combined approach can enhance patient comfort and satisfaction during the perioperative period.

Good fit: Ideal candidates are healthy women aged 18-40 with singleton pregnancies scheduled for elective cesarean sections.
Not a fit: Patients with severe pregnancy complications or significant mental health issues may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce anxiety and pain for patients undergoing cesarean sections, leading to improved recovery experiences.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown positive outcomes with music therapy in various surgical settings, suggesting potential success for this approach.
