Brief Summary

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

This prospective randomized controlled trial evaluates whether intraoperative binaural beats reduce the remimazolam dose required for general anesthesia in 88 adults undergoing breast surgery. Patients are assigned to binaural beats or silent earphones, and the primary outcome is total intraoperative remimazolam consumption.
