Summary

This study tested whether listening to live or recorded music during dialysis can reduce pain, itch, anxiety, and depression. 102 adults on dialysis took part. They had one week of normal dialysis for baseline data, then a week with live music, then a week with recorded music. Researchers compared how patients felt with and without music.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
music (live and pre-recorded)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to improve comfort and mood during dialysis sessions.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with no blinding, so results may be influenced by patient expectations. The effect may be modest or not apply to all dialysis patients.
