ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how listening to music can help reduce pain and anxiety for women undergoing a procedure called hysteroscopy. Hysteroscopy is a way for doctors to look inside the uterus using a thin, lighted tube, and this study focuses on postmenopausal women who may be experiencing issues like unusual bleeding or problems seen on ultrasounds. The goal is to see if music can make the experience more comfortable for these patients.

To participate in the trial, women must be postmenopausal and need a hysteroscopy for specific reasons. However, those with certain conditions, such as serious vaginal bleeding or previous surgery that affects the cervix, won't be eligible. If someone joins the study, they can expect to listen to music during their procedure to see if it helps ease their discomfort and anxiety. This research could provide valuable insights into ways to improve the experience for women undergoing this type of examination.
