Summary

This study tests whether playing a person's favorite music before and during wound care can reduce pain and help pressure injuries (bed sores) heal faster. Researchers will compare wound care with music to standard care without music in 50 older adults living in long-term care homes. Participants will listen to personalized playlists for 15 minutes before and during dressing changes. The study aims to see if music improves the wound care experience and healing outcomes.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Music listening (personalized playlists)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to ease pain and improve the wound care experience for older adults with bed sores.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Music may not reduce pain or speed healing for all individuals.
