Summary
This study looked at whether listening to music for a week before colon cancer surgery can lower anxiety. 116 adults scheduled for surgery were asked to listen to music three times a day. Their anxiety levels were compared to a group that did not have a music routine. The goal is to find a simple, drug-free way to help patients feel calmer before an operation.
