Effect of music therapy on pain and anxiety in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery through midline sternotomy

In recent times music therapy is used as one among the various non-opioid based therapeutic which is often used as a non pharmacological supplement. Here we are going to study the effect of music therapy in reducing post operative pain and anxiety in patients undergoing cardiac surgery through midline sternotomy.The methodology will be after explaining about the study and getting informed consent the subjects will be divided into two groups (group - M music therapy group -C control ) using computer generated random tables then 20 minutes music therapy will be given to M group subjects in the pre op and 2,12,24 hours post extubation and no intervention will be done for  C group subjects. Pain and STAI anxiety score will be assessed after every session. We hypothesize that the music therapy will reduce pain and anxiety in patients undergoing cardiac surgery through midline sternotomy.we are also assessing quality of sleep in the postoperative period.
