Overview
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Participant satisfaction rate
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 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.
