Using music therapy via an app to reduce anxiety before ENT surgery

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

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.
