NCT ID NCT07437469
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether listening to binaural beats or a patient's chosen music for 30 minutes after knee or hip replacement surgery can lower pain and anxiety. About 50 adults having these surgeries will take part. Researchers will measure pain and anxiety levels right after surgery and again 4 hours later, and also track how much pain medicine is needed.
