Natural sounds for better recovery after orthopedic surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether listening to natural sounds, like a forest or ocean, can improve how you feel after orthopedic surgery. If you are having such surgery and can hear normally, you might feel more comfortable and less stressed during recovery.
