This study investigates the effectiveness of music listening as a non-pharmacological intervention to alleviate pain and anxiety in patients undergoing surgery. A total of 300 patients will be recruited to select music from various genres before and after their surgical procedures.

By analyzing the impact of different types and durations of music, the research aims to enhance patient recovery and satisfaction in the perioperative setting.
