First seen Mar 17, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026 · Updated 14 times
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.
