• Registration Number: NCT06084793
• Lead Sponsor: Centro de Estudios en Genetica y Reproduccion

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare if playing music before and during an embryo transfer can make a difference for women who are going through a frozen embryo transfer as part of a medical procedure called assisted reproduction technology (ART).

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does listening to music before and while having the embryo transfer make patients feel more satisfied and less anxious?

* Does listening to music before and during the embryo transfer affect how likely it is for the woman to get pregnant?

Before the embryo transfer, the participants will listen to music through earphones or speakers. During the embryo transfer, the participants will listen to music through speakers.

During the embryo transfer, the comparison group will not listen to music and will receive the usual care.

The aim is to see if listening to music before and during the embryo transfer can help make the procedure better for women.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Music	Music	All participants will listen to music throughout their time in the pre-transfer room and the designated embryo transfer room. The music will begin playing as soon as participants enter the room and will continue until their departure. Participants will curate a personalized playlist.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Participant satisfaction rate	Immediate after the embryo transfer	It will be assessed with a visual analog scale (VAS) and an ad-hoc satisfaction rate survey.
Participant anxiety rate	Immediate before after the embryo transfer	It will be assessed with State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S), a validated tool. It will be evaluated before and after the embryo transfer (we will compare the absolute difference in the evaluation post-transfer, and also the difference between the pre and post-embryo transfer.
