Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Live Music Therapy	Patients in this arm will meet with the music therapist to indicate preferences for one of three guided imagery scenarios to be included in their music-assisted relaxation routine. Patients will then receive live music relaxation and education for practice using a CD. Once admitted for surgery, patients will be seen immediately prior to going to the OR in the SDU, immediately following surgery in the PACU, and then within 12-24 hours of surgery on the inpatient floor. Pain and anxiety measures will be gathered at routine follow-up appointments following discharge (2 weeks and 6 months post-operatively).
OTHER	Recorded Music Therapy	Patients in this arm will meet with the music therapist to indicate preferences for one of three guided imagery scenarios to be included in their music-assisted relaxation routine. Patients will then receive explanation for using the recorded routine on CD. Once admitted for surgery, patients will be seen immediately prior to going to the OR in the SDU, immediately following surgery in the PACU, and then within 12-24 hours of surgery on the inpatient floor. Pain and anxiety measures will be gathered at routine follow-up appointments following discharge (2 weeks and 6 months post-operatively).
OTHER	Control	Patients will receive standard of care without any music therapy intervention. These patients will have pain and anxiety measures taken at the same contact points as the music therapy intervention groups.
