Tunes instead of twilight: headphones may cut sedation in knee surgery
NCT ID NCT07371390
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether wearing noise-cancelling headphones with music or a movie can help people stay calm and need less sedation during knee replacement surgery done under spinal anesthesia. About 200 adults having their first knee replacement will take part. The goal is to see if this simple approach can reduce the amount of sedation medicine needed and improve patient and surgeon satisfaction.
