Sound therapy during cataract surgery in older adults
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether listening to special binaural sounds (through earphones) during cataract surgery helps older patients stay calm and comfortable. The surgery uses light sedation, and researchers want to see if the sounds improve the experience.
