Summary

This randomized clinical trial evaluated acute stress responses during orthodontic mini-screw placement and whether listening to music during the procedure influenced these responses. Thirty-two participants aged 14 to 20 years who were undergoing mini-screw placement for the first time were randomly assigned in equal numbers to a music intervention group or a control group receiving the same orthodontic procedure without music. Saliva samples were collected immediately before and after the procedure to measure salivary cortisol and alpha-amylase. Pulse rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, body temperature, and oxygen saturation were also measured at the same time points. The study was designed to determine whether mini-screw placement produced a measurable acute stress response and whether music influenced biochemical and physiological changes associated with the procedure.

Conditions

  • Acute Stress Response During Orthodontic Mini-screw Placement

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Music Listening Intervention

Participants assigned to the experimental arm listened to the same prespecified music throughout the standardized orthodontic mini-screw placement procedure. The music intervention was initiated after completion of the baseline saliva collection and physiological measurements and continued until the clinical procedure was completed. Post-procedure saliva collection and physiological measurements were then performed. Participants in the control arm underwent the same clinical procedure and measurement protocol without music.
