Sound therapy during breast surgery anesthesia
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether playing special sounds (binaural beats) through earphones during breast surgery can reduce the amount of anesthesia medicine needed. This might help you wake up more comfortably and with fewer side effects.
