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.
