Personalized music to reduce agitation after certain surgeries
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether playing personalized music during and after specific surgeries can reduce “emergence agitation,” a period of distress or confusion as a patient wakes up from anesthesia. It may help children feel calmer by using music they connect with.
