Summary
This study tested whether listening to music during wound dressing changes can help reduce pain and anxiety in people with venous leg ulcers. 97 patients were split into three groups: one listened to Turkish instrumental music, one to Western music without lyrics, and one had no music. Pain and anxiety were measured before, during, and after the procedure. The goal is to find a simple, non-drug way to make wound care more comfortable.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to reduce pain and anxiety during wound care for people with venous ulcers.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with 97 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The effect may be modest and not replace standard pain management.
