Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether listening to music through headphones during dental procedures can lower anxiety in adults. Sixty participants will be split into three groups: one listens to classical music, one wears silent headphones, and one receives standard care. Anxiety levels are measured before and after the procedure using questionnaires.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Music via headphones
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to reduce anxiety during dental visits.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants. The effect may be small or not better than just wearing headphones without music.

Study facts

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 60 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Nov 2025

Expected to finish

Apr 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults receiving care at the university-affiliated dental clinic, legally able to consent and willing to participate voluntarily. * Ability to read and independently complete brief self-report questionnaires before and after the visit. Exclusion Criteria: * Self-reported hearing impairment, current use of hearing aids, or other auditory conditions that interfere with safe headphone use or outcome validity. * Use of sedative medication prior to the visit for the current appointment, or acute intoxication that may alter anxiety ratings. * Cognitive impairment or other condition that limits capacity to provide informed consent or to complete study questionnaires reliably. * Unwillingness to wear headphones during the procedure if randomized to a headphone arm, or refusal to participate/withdrawal of consent at any time. * Any urgent clinical indication that, in the clinician's judgment, precludes headphone use (for example, need for uninterrupted verbal interaction or imaging incompatible with wearing the device). * Reported history of severe adverse reactions to headphone use (for example, marked discomfort, vertigo) or skin sensitivity incompatible with device contact points. * Inability to protect privacy or comply with basic study procedures (for example, cannot complete pre- and post-visit questionnaires within the clinic workflow)
