Functional Change in Endothelium After Cardiac cAtheterization, With and Without Music Therapy

FEAT: Functional Change in Endothelium After Cardiac cAtheterization, With and Without Music Therapy

• Status: Completed
• Phase: Phase 4
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 70 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Emmanouil Brilakis · Federal

• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of music therapy before, during, and after cardiac catheterization is associated on (a) change in reactive hyperemia index measured before and after catheterization using peripheral arterial tonometry and (b) patient stress and discomfort measured by a questionnaire, as compared to the standard of care (no music during cardiac catheterization). The hypothesis of the study is that music therapy during cardiac catheterization will be associated with more favorable change in reactive hyperemia and higher patient satisfaction compared to no music playback.

Conditions

• Coronary Artery Disease
• Endothelial Dysfunction

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Music therapy	The music played will be by MusiCure, by Niels Eje (slow, relaxing music designed for therapeutic use), and will be played from an audio pillow beneath the patient's head.
