Summary

This study tests whether listening to live ukulele music for 30 minutes, one day after a cesarean delivery, can help reduce pain-related distress and anxiety while improving overall comfort. First-time mothers who had a C-section under spinal anesthesia will be randomly assigned to either the music session or standard hospital care. Researchers will compare the two groups using questionnaires that measure pain catastrophizing, postpartum anxiety, and comfort levels.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Live ukulele music
What this could lead to
If effective, live ukulele music could become a simple, drug-free way to help women feel more comfortable and less anxious after cesarean delivery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, and the benefits of music may vary from person to person. It is not a replacement for standard medical care.
