Music as a Perioperative Therapy in Breast Cancer Patients

NCT03511079 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2021-11-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Music has often been used in hospitals as a therapy but there is a limited amount of research looking at how music actually affects the different molecules in the body, such as cortisol (a marker of stress). There is especially a lack of research in the context of surgery. The hope is that this study will show that music can be used to minimize some of the side effects related to breast surgery and improve the patient experience.
