Summary

This study looked at whether playing music during an angiography procedure can lower patients' anxiety and keep their vital signs stable. Fifty adults with coronary artery disease were randomly assigned to either listen to music during the procedure or receive standard care. Researchers measured anxiety levels and vital signs like heart rate and blood pressure at several points. The goal was to see if this simple, non-drug approach could make the experience less stressful.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Music listening
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help patients feel calmer during heart procedures.
What could go wrong
This was a small, completed study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Music might not reduce anxiety for all patients.
