Perioperative Meditation Music for Type 2 Diabetes Patients Undergoing Elective Surgery
Official title: Effects of a Meditation Music Intervention on Glycemic Control, Anxiety, and Sleep Quality in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Undergoing Elective Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Run by Istanbul Aydın University · NCT07770204 · Data updated 2026-11-12
We’re testing whether playing self-selected meditation music around surgery helps adults with type 2 diabetes stay calm, sleep better, and keep blood sugar steadier.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 40–70 with type 2 diabetes scheduled for elective surgery who can communicate and consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not respond to music or have contraindications to the intervention may not experience benefit.

What this trial studies
This randomized trial compares routine perioperative care with and without self-selected meditation music for adults aged 40–70 with type 2 diabetes undergoing elective surgery. The goal is to see if music can improve postoperative glycemic control, reduce anxiety, and enhance sleep quality. The study builds on evidence that music can lessen stress responses and improve comfort in surgical settings. Participants are assigned to either the music intervention plus usual care or usual care alone, and outcomes are measured after surgery.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience better sleep, lower anxiety, and improved blood sugar control around surgery.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research suggests music can reduce perioperative anxiety and improve comfort, but evidence specific to perioperative meditation music in type 2 diabetes patients is limited.
