Abstract

Background: Anxiety and pain are significant concerns in perioperative care, impacting patient outcomes and satisfaction. Music therapy, a non-pharmacological intervention, has shown promise in various healthcare settings for its ability to reduce anxiety and pain, suggesting potential benefits as an adjunct to anesthesia. This study investigates the effects of music therapy on anxiety levels, pain perception, medication usage, and patient satisfaction in a surgical setting.
