Effect of Slow Tempo Music on Anxiety Markers During Intravitreal Injection: A Randomised Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Slow tempo music for Pain and Anxiety. Completed, enrolled 144 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this clinical trial was to investigate the effects of slow tempo music on anxiety and perceived pain in patients undergoing elective intravitreal injections (IVI). The main questions it aimed to answer were: Did slow tempo music reduce the anxiety and pain of patients undergoing IVI? Did the pain threshold differ among patients of different ethnic groups? Participants were divided into a music intervention group and a control group. Participants in the music group listened to slow tempo music before and during IVI, while participants in the control group received IVI without background music. The study compared salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) levels-an enzyme that correlates with anxiety level-along with blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) of participants before and after IVI. At the end of the treatment, participants' pain scores were obtained.
