What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Steinway Spirio M recording/player piano for reducing pre-operative stress and pain?
Is music therapy safe for reducing pre-operative stress and pain?
How does the treatment of music therapy using a Steinway Spirio M piano differ from other treatments for pre-operative stress and pain?
This treatment is unique because it uses a high-quality player piano to deliver music therapy, which can help reduce stress and pain before surgery. Unlike standard treatments that may rely on medication, this approach uses music to create a calming environment, potentially offering a non-invasive and enjoyable way to manage pre-operative anxiety and discomfort.1791011
What is the purpose of this trial?
The study plans to enroll a total of 132 patients. The goal of this study is to measure pre-and post-music intervention changes in patients' vital signs, serum- and plasma-level biomarkers by broad-spectrum proteomics analysis, metabolic analysis, and perceived pain, anxiety, and mood states as measured by validated questionnaires (STAI-S, POMS-SF, and VASP). We will collect demographic information on each participant. Participants will also complete the Brief Musical Experience Questionnaire (BMEQ) to investigate potential links between susceptibility to music-induced anxiolysis and prior musical training, preference and exposure.
