Trial summary

Cataract surgery with topic anesthesia is anxiety provoking. This operative stress can increase pain perception and blood pressure. This discomfort can lead to non-compliance with immobility and potentially lead to intraoperative and postoperative complications. Pharmacological means are limited to reduce anxiety.

About this study

Cataract surgery with topic anesthesia is anxiety provoking. This operative stress can increase pain perception and blood pressure. This discomfort can lead to non-compliance with immobility and potentially lead to intraoperative and postoperative complications.

Pharmacological means are limited to reduce anxiety. Only anxiolytics could be effective but at the cost of side effects not compatible with surgery.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MusicCare® deviceDevice

    The device is a touch tablet with a headset that allows noise reduction. The patient can choose the music they prefer. The selected U-shaped sequence uses the principles of hypnoanalgesia to accompany the patient into a state of deep relaxation.

  • Headphones with noise reductionDevice

    Headphones with noise reduction without music

What is being measured

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

  1. Self-assessed anxiety score between the 2 groups

    Self-assessed anxiety score on a visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0 to 10 (0 means no anxiety and 10 the maximum anxiety)

    Measured: Baseline day, when entering the operating room

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Self-assessment of the duration of the surgery

    Self-rated duration of surgery on a scale of 0 to 5 (0 means 5 to 10 minutes and 5 means 25 to 30 minutes)

    Measured: Baseline day, when entering the operating room
