Summary

This study aims to find out whether listening to music before, during, and after pain procedures can help reduce anxiety, pain catastrophising, and acute pain in patients with chronic pain. Music therapy may provide a simple, safe, and non-drug way to help patients relax and feel more comfortable.

In this study, adult patients with chronic pain who are scheduled for interventional pain procedures at Singapore General Hospital will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will listen to self-selected music through headphones and speakers before, during, and after the procedure. The other group will receive standard care without music.

Researchers will measure anxiety, pain catastrophising, and pain levels before and after the procedure using validated questionnaires. The main outcome will be the level of anxiety after the procedure. Other outcomes include pain catastrophising scores, pain scores during local anaesthetic injection, and overall patient satisfaction.

This study will help determine if music therapy can be routinely used to improve comfort and emotional well-being for patients undergoing interventional pain procedures.

BEHAVIORAL

Music Therapy

This intervention consists of perioperative music therapy for patients with chronic pain undergoing interventional pain procedures in the ambulatory setting. Participants in the intervention group will listen to self-selected music for approximately 30 minutes before, during the procedure, and 30 minutes after their procedure. Music will be delivered via headphones pre- and post-procedure and via a Bluetooth speaker during the procedure to facilitate communication with the procedural team.
