What this trial studies
This study aims to explore how noise isolation during general anesthesia influences the occurrence of moderate to severe postoperative pain in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. Participants will wear noise-cancelling earphones during their procedure to assess whether this intervention can lead to a reduction in pain levels and the need for analgesics post-surgery. The study will include patients aged 18 to 70 who are classified as ASA 1-3 and are undergoing elective surgeries lasting at least two hours.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 70 undergoing elective major abdominal surgery under general anesthesia.
Not a fit: Patients with chronic pain conditions, hearing abnormalities, or those requiring mechanical ventilation post-surgery may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce postoperative pain and the reliance on pain medications for patients after major abdominal surgeries.
How similar studies have performed: While the specific approach of using noise isolation in this context is novel, similar studies have indicated that environmental factors can influence postoperative pain outcomes.
