Brief Summary

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to learn if musical intervention can reduce anxiety on patients and doctors in the appointment period. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Can music reduce the psychological symptoms of anxiety at the end of the appointment? Can music reduce heart rate and blood pressure at the end of the appointment?
