Music to reduce stress during wound dressing

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Hospitalized adults undergoing wound dressing will be randomly assigned to listen to music of their choice during the procedure or receive standard care without music. Participants must be 18 or older and clinically stable, and those who are pregnant, have severe hearing loss, cognitive or language barriers, or require urgent medical intervention are excluded. The investigators will compare stress levels and patient-reported experience between the two groups using validated measures collected during and after the dressing change. The intervention is low-risk, delivered at bedside, and could be implemented broadly if shown to help.
