Preoperative Music Intervention for Anxiety in Hip and Knee Arthroplasty
NCT07845695
This study is recruiting at 1 US site in 1 state, according to its ClinicalTrials.gov record last updated .
Summary
Many patients feel anxious before joint replacement surgery. This anxiety is common - affecting roughly 1 in 3 patients - and research has shown that patients who are more anxious before surgery tend to have more pain afterward and may need more pain medication during recovery. Listening to music before medical procedures has been shown to reduce anxiety in many types of surgery. In fact, a recent analysis of 20 studies found that music works about as well as anti-anxiety medication for calming patients before surgery, with about 1 in 4 patients experiencing a meaningful benefit.
