Summary

This study tested whether listening to relaxing instrumental music during prostate surgery helps reduce anxiety and pain afterward. 135 men having a specific type of prostate surgery were randomly assigned to either listen to music or receive standard care. Researchers measured anxiety before and after surgery, and pain two hours after surgery.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to reduce anxiety and pain during prostate surgery.
What could go wrong
