Effect of Preoperative Music Therapy Versus Intravenous Midazolam on Anxiety, Sedation and Stress in Stomatology Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients undergoing surgery and general anesthesia often experience anxiety, fear and stress, with negative bodily responses. These may be managed by the pre-procedural application of anxiolytic, analgesic, and anesthetic drugs that have, however, potential risks or side effects. Music therapy (MT) can be used as a complementary no-drug intervention alongside standard surgical care before, during and after medical procedures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of preoperative MT intervention compared to premedication with midazolam on levels of anxiety, sedation and stress during general anesthesia for elective stomatology surgery.

Methods

A two-arm randomized and controlled single-center, parallel-group, pre-post event study was conducted. In total
