简要总结
The aim of this study is to demonstrate the value of music in outpatient hysteroscopy on patients' level of pain and satisfaction. This may have a role in our daily practice in providing a better patient care in outpatient hysteroscopy.
详细描述
Outpatient hysteroscopy is nowadays a commonly used procedure in Gynaecology in order to evaluate the uterine cavity and to diagnose different intrauterine diseases. It is a safe, convenient and cost-effective procedure in aiding the management of abnormal uterine bleeding. However, outpatient hysteroscopy can be associated with significant pain which would have impact on the woman's satisfaction and pain is one of the most common reasons for failure of the procedure.
Listening to music could be an easy and non-invasive way to reduce pain. A meta-analysis conducted on the effects of music on pain revealed that music interventions had statistically significant effects in decreasing pain on 0-10 pain scales. Researches on this topic in gynaecological office procedures, however, showed variation in the results. Some showed no positive effect of music on patient's level of pain, anxiety or satisfaction of patient or doctor for office hysteroscopy and colposcopy. On the other hand, some studies showed a positive effect of the use of music with a reduction of pain and anxiety during office hysteroscopy.
