Music and heart rate during procedures
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies how listening to music affects your heart rate and stress response during a procedure like surgery or a pain treatment. It may help you relax and feel more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 21 years old (adult) and having a procedure like surgery or a pain treatment.
- Your physical health is classified as ASA 1, 2, or 3, meaning you are generally healthy or have mild to severe disease, but not critically ill.
- You can read and understand English or Chinese.
- You are not currently taking opioid pain medication before the procedure.
- You do not have chronic pain, a history of opioid or drug abuse, and you are not scheduled to go to the ICU after the procedure.
- Your heart rhythm is normal (sinus rhythm) and you do not have a pacemaker.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial measures anxiety and physical reactions (like heart rate) in people having outpatient surgery for the first time. It uses wearable monitors to see how your body responds, which could help improve care for future patients.
This study tests whether listening to music during a minimally sedated heart valve replacement procedure (TAVR) helps reduce anxiety and improve the patient experience. You would wear headphones and listen to calming music while awake during the procedure.
This study tests if listening to music during a heart catheterization procedure (through the wrist) can help reduce anxiety and prevent blood vessel spasms. You may be a good fit if you are having your first catheterization for a non-emergency reason.
This trial studies whether playing music during a “wide-awake” hand surgery helps comfort or experience during the procedure. You may be offered music while you’re awake and having local numbing medicine.
This trial tests whether listening to music during interventional pain procedures (like injections or nerve blocks) can help reduce anxiety and pain in people with chronic pain. If you are an adult with chronic pain and have a procedure coming up, you may be able to join.
