Brief Summary

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

The goal of this Randomized Controlled Trial is to evaluate heart rate variability (HRV)before and after listening to music in patients scheduled for cataract surgery under topical anesthesia, compared to patients who do not listen to music. Our hypothesis is that the anxious population with a low HRV benefits from an anxiolytic effect of music to increase HRV levels.

Study Groups

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

Music Listening

The presentation of the music listening session will be standardized and will be as follows: "Make yourself comfortable; we will first choose the musical style; then adjust the volume; put on the headphones; then the mask; let us know if something is wrong; we can take off the headphones or the mask at any time if you wish; we will stay by your side".

The following data will be collected just before the headset is put on and just after its removal:

* heart rate using a previously disinfected chest belt (PolarH10®)
* blood pressure
* level of anxiety (according to the validated SFQ and VAS scales)

Music listening session will last 15 minutes, at the end of which the headphones will be removed before the patient is transferred to the operating room.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Music listening

Intervention Type OTHER

Music will be played through individual headphones (BOSE AE2®). The headphones give the impression of personalized music that only the patient can hear. Patients will have a mask over their eyes to limit visual aggression. The songs will be pre-recorded on a digital tablet (Samsung Galaxy®) allowing the broadcasting of music programs. Patients will have the choice to listen to a song according to their musical preferences among 16 different musical styles. The volume will be adapted to the level that suits the patient.

No Music

Heart rate variability monitoring while NOT listening to music. The presentation for the patients included in the group without music will be as follows: "Make yourself comfortable; we will first put on the headphones but there will be no music; let us know if anything is wrong; we can remove the headphones or mask at any time if you wish; we will stay by your side".

The following data will be collected just before the headset is put on and just after its removal:

* heart rate using a previously disinfected chest belt (PolarH10®)
* blood pressure
* level of anxiety (according to the validated SFQ and VAS scales)

The session will last 15 minutes, at the end of which the headphones will be removed before the patient is transferred to the operating room.
