Summary

This study tests whether combining traditional Chinese five-element music therapy with herbal acupoint patches can reduce pain and anxiety in people undergoing kidney stone surgery under local anesthesia. Sixty adults with small kidney stones will be randomly assigned to receive either the combined therapy or standard care alone.
