Summary

This trial investigates whether listening to classical music, with or without binaural beats, can lower anxiety and pain in men undergoing a prostate biopsy. Participants are randomly assigned to hear Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings, the same piece embedded with a 6-Hz binaural beat, or no music during the procedure. Researchers measure changes in anxiety, pain scores, and vital signs to see if these auditory interventions provide comfort.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Classical music and binaural beats
What this could lead to
If effective, listening to music or binaural beats could become a simple, drug-free way to ease anxiety and pain during prostate biopsies.
What could go wrong
This is a single, relatively small trial. The effects may be modest or not apply to all men, and the approach is not a treatment for any disease.
