Summary

This trial tests whether music therapy can reduce pain, anxiety, and stress in people undergoing hemodialysis for kidney failure. Participants in the intervention group listen to music for 30 minutes during their dialysis sessions, while a control group receives standard care. Researchers measure pain levels, anxiety, and vital signs before and after to see if music offers a calming, drug-free benefit.
