Summary

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to learn if musical intervention can reduce anxiety on patients and doctors in the appointment period. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can music reduce the psychological symptoms of anxiety at the end of the appointment? Can music reduce heart rate and blood pressure at the end of the appointment? Researchers will compare if the presence of zen music during the appointment influences anxiety levels. Participants in the intervention group will listen to music during the appointment. Those in the control group will not have music in the office during the appointment.
