Brief Summary

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

Music therapy has been reported to reduce analgesic and anesthetic requirements, but evidence in thoracic surgery remains limited. This prospective observational study aimed to evaluate the effects of different music types on hemodynamic stability and anesthetic consumption in patients undergoing thoracic surgery.

Detailed Description

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

After institutional ethics approval and written informed consent, 159 adult patients (ASA I-III) scheduled for elective thoracic surgery under general anesthesia were enrolled. Patients were randomized by sealed-envelope method into three groups: Group T (Sufi music), Group B (Classical Western music), and Group C (control, no music). Music was delivered via over-ear headphones from induction until the end of surgery. Sedation was evaluated using the Riker Sedation-Agitation Scale (RSAS), and pain using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Hemodynamic variables, anesthetic agent consumption, and postoperative recovery parameters were recorded.

Study Groups

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

Group 1: Sufi music group

In the sufi music group, sufi music was played through over-ear headphones; the volume was adjusted based on patient comfort and confirmed with the patient. Music playback was initiated alongside routine monitoring and continued throughout the surgery, ending when the patient was transferred to the stretcher after extubation.

Intervention Type OTHER

In the music groups, music was played through over-ear headphones; the volume was adjusted based on patient comfort and confirmed with the patient. Music playback was initiated alongside routine monitoring and continued throughout the surgery, ending when the patient was transferred to the stretcher after extubation. For infection control purposes, headphone sponges were changed for each patient.

Group 2: Classical Western music group

In the classical Western music group, music was played through over-ear headphones; the volume was adjusted based on patient comfort and confirmed with the patient. Music playback was initiated alongside routine monitoring and continued throughout the surgery, ending when the patient was transferred to the stretcher after extubation.

Group 3: no music group

In the no music group, the patient was not allowed to listen to any type of music during surgery.
