Brief Summary

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

Patients who undergo outpatient surgery according to normal practice will be divided into two groups.

The first group (17 patients), before and after their surgery, will listen to relaxing music, namely a slower tempo music that can quiet mind and make patients feel soothed.

The second group (17 patients) will follow the standard surgical pathways according to normal clinical practice, in particular they will not listen to relaxing music.

A questionnaire to evaluate stress and satisfaction will be administered to all the patients before their discharge
