Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess whether listening to music during surgery has an effect on pain or anxiety after surgery.

Detailed Description
After being informed about the study and potential risks and meeting eligibility criteria, all patients giving written informed consent will be scheduled for their hernia repair surgery. On the day of surgery, patients will be randomized in a double-blind manner (participant and investigator) in a 1:1 ratio to listen to patient-chosen music during their surgery via headphones or just listen to silence via headphones. Pain and anxiety will then be assessed after surgery.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Music Via Headphones Headphones will be placed with patient-selected music playing for the duration of the surgical procedure. |
Other: Patient-Chosen Music
Music played into headphones.

| Placebo Comparator: Silence Via Headphones (Control) Headphones will be placed with silence for the duration of the surgical procedure. |
Other: Placebo
Silence into headphones.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Post operative Pain [At 24 hours (+- 3 hours) after surgery end time.]
Pain scores will be assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NRS-11); The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable")
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Post operative Anxiety [At 24 hours (+- 3 hours) after surgery end time.]
Anxiety scores will be assessed using State Trait Anxiety Index-6 (STAI-6) Anxiety tool (a 6 question patient-reported anxiety assessment). The higher the total, the greater the anxiety is.
Other Outcome Measures
- Post operative Pain - 3 days [Collected at 3 time points after surgery end time - 24 hours (+- 3 hours), 48 hours (+-3 hours) and 72 hours (+-3 hours)]
Pain scores will be assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NRS-11); The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable")
- Post operative Pain - cumulative [Will be collected repeatedly by nursing staff per nursing protocol for the first 24 hours after surgery end time.]
Pain scores will be assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NRS-11); The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable")
- Post operative Anxiety - 3 days [Collected at 3 time points after surgery end time - 24 hours (+- 3 hours), 48 hours (+-3 hours) and 72 hours (+-3 hours)]
Anxiety scores will be assessed using State Trait Anxiety Index-6 (STAI-6) Anxiety tool (a 6 question patient-reported anxiety assessment). The higher the total, the greater the anxiety is.
- Post operative opioid consumption [During the first 72 hours after surgery end time.]
Cumulative opioid consumption converted into morphine milligram equivalents.
- Intraoperative sedative use [From induction of anesthesia to arrival in the post anesthesia care unit on the day of procedure]
Total number of intravenous and inhaled anesthetics, benzodiazepines, and opioid medications.
