Effects of Music Therapy on Perioperative Anxiety, Physiological Stress, and Postoperative Recovery in Patients Undergoing Knee Arthroscopy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Key Points
Music therapy significantly reduces perioperative anxiety and physiological stress levels in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy.
Patients in the music therapy group reported 30% lower anxiety scores compared to the control group during the postoperative phase.
Randomized controlled trial assessed the impact of music therapy on anxiety and recovery indicators in a clinical setting.
These findings highlight the potential for music therapy to enhance postoperative recovery, but further research in diverse surgical contexts is needed.
