Binaural beats for pain and anxiety after surgery
Part of Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if listening to binaural beats (a type of sound therapy) after hip or knee replacement surgery can help reduce pain and anxiety. You would receive the sound therapy through headphones while in the recovery room.

This study tests whether listening to music just before hip or knee replacement surgery can help reduce anxiety. If you are having surgery for arthritis and are comfortable listening to music, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether playing gentle background sounds (white or pink noise) through headphones during your hospital stay can help you sleep and recover more comfortably after hip or knee replacement surgery.
This trial tests whether less sedation during knee replacement surgery can improve recovery. It may help you if you are having your first total knee replacement and can have spinal anesthesia.
This study compares two types of anesthesia for total knee replacement to see which helps with pain, movement, and satisfaction after surgery. If you are scheduled for a knee replacement and are willing to have a spinal or epidural anesthesia, you may be able to join.
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 two ways of managing pain during hip replacement surgery: one that reduces the use of strong painkillers (opioids) using a special monitor, and one that avoids them altogether. The goal is to see which approach controls pain better with fewer side effects.
