What this trial studies
This study investigates the effects of passive music therapy delivered through an app on preoperative anxiety in patients scheduled for ENT surgeries. Participants will listen to music before their procedures to assess whether this intervention can alleviate anxiety and improve their surgical experience. The study aims to build on previous findings that suggest music therapy may help reduce anxiety and pain in surgical settings, although earlier studies had limitations due to small sample sizes. By utilizing a larger cohort, this trial seeks to provide more definitive evidence regarding the efficacy of music therapy in this context.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who are scheduled for various types of ENT surgeries and can provide informed consent.
Not a fit: Patients with severe bilateral hearing loss, those unable to understand French, or individuals under legal protection may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce anxiety levels in patients undergoing ENT surgeries, leading to improved surgical outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising results for music therapy in reducing anxiety and pain, but this trial aims to provide more conclusive evidence with a larger sample size.
