About this study

This will be a prospective, randomized controlled trial with patients randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group. The experimental group will be exposed to the independent variable (IV) and the control group will not be exposed to the IV. The IV will be a music therapist- designed listening program during surgery. A total of 60 patients will be consecutively enrolled and undergo block randomization to either a music listening group or a control group (no music). Trained medical research personnel will assist with various parts of the study and will be defined as those individuals who have completed and are up-to-date on the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) training. These individuals will consist of a board certified music therapist, practicing ophthalmologists, and physicians-in-training.

Read the detailed description

This prospective trial will block randomize a consecutive cohort of patients undergoing routine vitrectomy surgery at an university hospital to a designed listening program during surgery or to nothing in order to determine whether music listening during surgery can measurably result in decreased patient pain assessed by the Wong-Baker Faces Pain scale. Secondary outcome measures will be blood pressure, need for anxiety medication, postoperative pain medication, and patient overall experience.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. post-operative pain

    post-operative pain as measured by the Wong-Baker Faces pain scale, 0 is no pain, 10 is the worst pain

    Measured: during post-operative recovery time, approximately 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. patient satisfaction

    patient satisfaction as measured by a modified version of the The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey

    Measured: during postoperative recovery time, approximately 2 hours

  2. anti-anxiety medication

    amount of anti-anxiety medication administered during surgery

    Measured: start to finish of surgery, approximately 1.5 hours

  3. pain médication

    amount of pain medication administered during surgery

    Measured: start to finish of surgery, approximately 1.5 hours

  4. blood pressure

    blood pressure during the surgical procedure

    Measured: start to finish of surgery, approximately 1.5 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing vitrectomy with music listening in people with Pain, Postoperative and Music Therapy, run by Vanderbilt University Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

post-operative pain (time frame: during post-operative recovery time, approximately 2 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 May 2018.
