Summary

This study tests whether listening to music for 20 minutes before a wrist fracture reduction can lower pain and stress. 192 adults will be randomly assigned to hear their favorite music, a therapist-chosen song, or no music. Researchers will measure pain scores, heart rate, and blood pressure to see if music helps.
