This study tests whether listening to music during spinal anesthesia (a numbing shot in the back) can improve comfort and outcomes for people with obesity (a BMI over 30). It aims to find a simple, drug-free way to make the procedure better.

This study compares two anesthesia methods—inhaled gas (desflurane) versus IV medication (TIVA)—during weight-loss surgery to see how each affects your body's stress response and recovery. The goal is to understand which approach may be safer and more comfortable for patients having bariatric surgery.
This trial compares three ways of giving spinal anesthesia (numbing medicine in the back) for people with obesity undergoing leg or foot surgery. It tests whether using ultrasound helps make the procedure safer or more effective than the standard method.
This study looks at whether giving sedation (medicine to help you relax) during spinal anesthesia can reduce back pain after surgery. It's for people having certain types of surgery on their lower abdomen or legs.
This trial tests whether listening to music during breast surgery can reduce the amount of anesthesia medication needed. If you're having breast surgery and can use headphones, this study may help make your experience more comfortable.
This study tests whether listening to music around the time of surgery can lower anxiety and pain, reduce how much pain medicine you need, and improve satisfaction. You may be asked to fill out brief questionnaires before and after your procedure.
This study compares how anesthetic medications behave in the bodies of people with normal weight versus overweight or obese patients undergoing surgery. Understanding these differences may help doctors choose safer anesthesia doses for each patient.
