Music and quieter operating rooms for children having surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether playing music and reducing noise in the operating room can lower the amount of anesthesia and pain medicine needed for children aged 3 to 18 during surgery. It may help children feel more comfortable and recover more smoothly.

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 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 tests whether listening to music during breast surgery can reduce the amount of anesthesia medication needed. If you're having breast surgery and can use headphones, this study may help make your experience more comfortable.
This trial studies whether the noise level in the operating room changes brain activity and vital signs while you are under general anesthesia. It may help doctors create a quieter, more comfortable environment during surgery.
This trial tests a different way of giving anesthesia to children during minor surgeries, aiming to reduce side effects. It could help your child recover more comfortably after procedures like hernia repair or mole removal.
This study compares playing music or white noise during a child's first endoscopy to see which helps them feel more comfortable. It might help your child relax during the procedure.
