ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of listening to special music called binaural beat music during knee surgery, specifically when spinal anesthesia is used. The researchers want to see if this music can help reduce anxiety, pain, and levels of a stress hormone called cortisol in patients undergoing knee arthroplasty, which is a surgery to replace the knee joint. The study will involve 40 participants, with half listening to the music during their surgery and half not listening to any music.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be at least 18 years old and scheduled for their first knee surgery under spinal anesthesia. They should be able to communicate verbally and have no neurological or psychiatric conditions. Before the surgery, participants will answer questions about their anxiety and have some health measurements taken. During the surgery, the music will play for those in the intervention group, and afterward, both groups will have their anxiety and cortisol levels measured again. This trial aims to find out if the music can genuinely make a difference in how patients feel during and after their surgery.
