What this trial studies
This study investigates the use of music as an adjunctive therapy to manage pain and anxiety in patients undergoing closed reduction of distal radius fractures. Patients will be divided into two groups: one receiving standard treatment without music and the other receiving treatment with music played during the procedure. The aim is to assess whether music can enhance the patient experience and reduce discomfort during this common emergency room procedure. The study will include adults over 18 years with specific eligibility criteria to ensure a focused evaluation of the intervention's effectiveness.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 18 years with a closed distal radius fracture requiring closed reduction.
Not a fit: Patients with significant hearing impairment, cognitive impairments, or those under the influence of drugs may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could provide a non-invasive method to improve pain and anxiety management for patients undergoing fracture reduction.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising results for music as an adjunctive therapy in various medical procedures, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
