Music may lower anesthesia use during breast surgery
NCT ID NCT07687095
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study investigates whether listening to self-selected music during breast surgery can reduce the amount of propofol, an anesthesia drug, needed. Participants are randomly assigned to either listen to music through headphones during surgery and recovery or receive standard care. The main goal is to measure total propofol use, with additional outcomes including anesthesia depth, recovery time, and patient satisfaction.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Intraoperative music
- What this could lead to
- If music reduces the amount of anesthesia needed, it could lead to faster recovery and fewer side effects for patients undergoing breast surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study. The effect may be minimal or not apply to other types of surgery. Music might not significantly change anesthesia needs.
