Prospective randomized study on the effect of music on anxiety and pain related to CT-guided percutaneous interventions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

CT-guided percutaneous interventions may cause patients to experience high levels of stress and anxiety, negatively affecting post-interventional outcomes. Music played during medical interventions has been shown to reduce anxiety and pain, yet the effect of music on patients undergoing interventional radiology procedures has not been evaluated. The aim of this study was to assess whether music played during CT-guided percutaneous interventions may reduce anxiety and pain.

Methods

This prospective randomized controlled trial included patients undergoing CT-guided transcutaneous procedures. The final analysis included a total of 209 patients, randomized into a music group (MG, n = 107) and a control group (CG, n = 102). Items of state and trait anxiety were analyse
