This trial studies whether listening to music can help reduce pain and improve recovery after common laparoscopic surgeries. It is for adults having gallbladder or appendix removal as same-day surgery.
This study tests whether playing personalized music during and after specific surgeries can reduce “emergence agitation,” a period of distress or confusion as a patient wakes up from anesthesia. It may help children feel calmer by using music they connect with.
This trial studies whether daily music therapy through a headset after abdominal surgery can improve recovery and other health outcomes. It will check how listening to music for three days may affect postoperative well-being.
