First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether listening to music and inhaling lavender oil before a heart angiogram can reduce pain, anxiety, and fear while increasing comfort. 139 adults scheduled for angiography took part, with some receiving the calming interventions and others standard care. The goal was to see if these simple, drug-free methods improve the patient experience before the procedure.
