Summary

This trial tests whether a special audio system that plays binaural beats and calming music through headphones can help patients feel more relaxed during procedures to fix dialysis access problems. 100 adults with dysfunctional dialysis access will be randomly assigned to either listen to the audio or receive standard care. The goal is to see if this simple, non-drug approach improves the overall patient experience.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: neuromodulation auditory system (binaural beats and music via headphones)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help patients feel more relaxed and less stressed during dialysis-related procedures.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial with only 100 participants. The audio system is not commercially available, and results may not apply to all patients or procedures.
