Summary

Background:

The use of music in operations is increasing due to its painless, safe, inexpensive, and the potential to improve patient outcomes.

Objective:

We aimed to evaluate the effects of music therapy on the quality of awakening and recovery of patients who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia, and to compare the perioperative pain and anxiety related to surgery.

Methods:

This double-blinded randomized clinical trial was conducted at the National Referral Hospital, Bhutan from 1st November 2022 to 31st October 2023. Those patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia were included in the clinical trial. Web-based simple randomization was performed, and all those patients with even numbers were allocated to the study group and odd numbers in the control group. During the perioperative period, music was played using headphones in the study group, and empty headphone was placed in the control group. Hemodynamic parameters, quality of awakening (measured using the Riker sedation-agitation scale), and recovery (measured using a 40-item questionnaire, QoR-40) were recorded using a questionnaire developed for the study. Perioperative anxiety and pain were compared between the study group using a Visual analog scale (VAS).
