Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine if music therapy interventions as adjunct to standard surgical care reduces pre- and post-operative pain and anxiety in patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty as compared with patients who receive standard of care without music therapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective, randomized, non-blinded clinical trial. The primary objective is to measure differences in pain and anxiety scores before and after music therapy interventions as compared to patients who do not receive music therapy.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Live Music Therapy

Live sedative guitar playing within a limited chord progression will be utilized. Added to this music will be vocal and verbal therapeutic suggestion for active listening, focused breathing, muscle relaxation, and guided imagery. Patients will choose from one of three nature scene options for the guided imagery in order to include patient preference of content. This treatment group will experience this music intervention live, including patient-centered interaction with the music therapist and education for repeated use of the routine on recording.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Live Music Therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients in this arm will meet with the music therapist to indicate preferences for one of three guided imagery scenarios to be included in their music-assisted relaxation routine. Patients will then receive live music relaxation and education for practice using a CD. Once admitted for surgery, patients will be seen immediately prior to going to the OR in the SDU, immediately following surgery in the PACU, and then within 12-24 hours of surgery on the inpatient floor. Pain and anxiety measures will be gathered at routine follow-up appointments following discharge (2 weeks and 6 months post-operatively).

Recorded Music Therapy

Recorded sedative guitar playing within a limited chord progression will be utilized. Added to this music will be vocal and verbal therapeutic suggestion for active listening, focused breathing, muscle relaxation, and guided imagery. Patients will choose from one of three nature scene options for the guided imagery in order to include patient preference of content. This treatment group will be given a recording of their chosen music relaxation routine for use throughout the study process.

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients in this arm will meet with the music therapist to indicate preferences for one of three guided imagery scenarios to be included in their music-assisted relaxation routine. Patients will then receive explanation for using the recorded routine on CD. Once admitted for surgery, patients will be seen immediately prior to going to the OR in the SDU, immediately following surgery in the PACU, and then within 12-24 hours of surgery on the inpatient floor. Pain and anxiety measures will be gathered at routine follow-up appointments following discharge (2 weeks and 6 months post-operatively).

Control

This group will receive standard of care with no music therapy intervention

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Control

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients will receive standard of care without any music therapy intervention. These patients will have pain and anxiety measures taken at the same contact points as the music therapy intervention groups.
