Detailed Description

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

After performing a thorough review of the literature, no studies were found that examined whether having a patient listen to a genre of music of their choosing before or during surgery impacts their postoperative pain. Music is a way to relax patients and could potentially decrease pain, which is a goal of perioperative services. The current study seeks to fill the gap and examine the impact of music on pain for surgical patients undergoing a hernia repair.

This study will use a randomized, double-blinded, controlled design with four arms:

* Arm 1: Patient will listen to music before their surgery in pre-operative area only
* Arm 2: Patient will listen to music before and during their surgery
* Arm 3: Patient will listen to music during their surgery only
* Arm 4: Patient will not listen to music during their visit
