Summary

The researchers designed this study to investigate whether implementing preoperative music intervention in cataract surgery can reduce perioperative anxiety, alleviate postoperative pain, and enhance patient satisfaction with the surgical procedure.

Detailed description

This is a single-center, randomized controlled single-blind trial. Computer-generated randomization will be used to allocate patients into two groups: a control group (without music therapy) and music therapy group A (listening to music preoperatively). Patient anxiety levels, pain intensity, satisfaction with the surgical procedure, and degree of cooperation during surgery will be assessed through preoperative and postoperative questionnaires and salivary cortisol measurements. Blood pressure and heart rate will be monitored both preoperatively and intraoperatively.

Conditions

• Cataract
• Music Therapy

Interventions
