Other: music
Registration Number
NCT03457181
Lead Sponsor
Antalya Training and Research Hospital
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that music listening during carotid endarterectomy administered the cervical plexus block will cause less anxiety, less pain, and greater patient satisfaction.

Detailed Description

Patients who decided to participate in the study were randomized by means of a computer-generated randomization order into 2 groups: Music Group (Group M) and Operating Room (OR) Noise Group (Group O). Randomization was independently carried out in both centers.

Preoperative and postoperative State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) scores, intraoperative STAI responses, preoperative and postoperative numerical rating scale scores for anxiety, pain scores and hemodynamic parameters were recorded.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Differences in intraoperative State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Response (relaxed )60 minutes

Assessed every 5 minutes during the procedure. The question is "are you relaxed" and patient is asked to answer the question on a scale of "very much, moderately, somewhat, or not at all"

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Differences in postoperative State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scores20 minutes

assessed 1st day after surgery. The total score on the scale ranges from 20 to 80 points and a higher score represents greater anxiety.

Changes in mean arterial pressure60 minutes

Assessed every 5 minutes during the procedure

Differences in intraoperative State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Response (calm)60 minutes

Assessed every 5 minutes during the procedure. The questions is "are you calm" and patient is asked to answer the question on a scale of "very much, moderately, somewhat, or not at all"

Changes in heart rate60 minutes

Assessed every 5 minutes during the procedure

Differences in postoperative anxiety numerical rating scale scores10 minutes

assessed 5 min after the procedure. Numeric Rating Scale (NRS): from 0 (no anxiety) to 10 (worst feeling of anxiety possible)

Differences in preoperative State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scores20 minutes

assessed 1 day before surgery. The total score on the scale ranges from 20 to 80 points and a higher score represents greater anxiety.

Differences in pain scores10 minutes

assessed 5th min after surgery. (from 0 (no pain) to 10 (maximal possible pain))
