Listening to music during toe amputation surgery
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether listening to music during a toe amputation (a surgery to remove a toe) can help improve your experience. The surgery is done with spinal anesthesia, which means you are awake but numb from the waist down. If you qualify, you might be randomly assigned to listen to music during the procedure or to receive standard care without music.
