ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Effect of Listening to Standardized Music Sequences on Preventing Postoperative Pain in Proctologic Surgery," is looking at whether listening to music before surgery can help reduce pain after procedures for hemorrhoids, anal fistulas, and anal fissures. The study will randomly divide participants into two groups: one group will listen to music before their surgery, while the other will not. Researchers want to see if preoperative music can lower the need for pain medication after surgery and improve patients' overall quality of life during the month following their operation.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be at least 18 years old and scheduled for proctologic surgery at the participating hospital in France. They should also have access to a smartphone or computer to use a music application. The trial will include 550 people, and they will be monitored for 28 days after their surgery to gather information on their pain levels and recovery. It's important to note that the study is not currently recruiting participants, but it aims to explore a new way to help patients feel more comfortable after surgery through the use of music.
