Music and Quiet in the Operating Room for Child Surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether playing calming music and reducing operating room noise during surgery helps children need less anesthesia and pain medication. Researchers hope this simple change might make surgery safer and recovery easier for kids.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 3 and 18 years old

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 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 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 study tests whether listening to binaural beats (special sounds that may help relax the brain) can reduce the amount of anesthesia medicine needed during surgery in children under 3 years old. If successful, it could make anesthesia safer and reduce side effects.
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 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.
