Summary

This study tested whether squeezing a stress ball or listening to music during coronary angiography (a heart imaging procedure) can lower pain and anxiety. 180 patients were randomly assigned to use a stress ball, listen to music, or receive standard care. Researchers measured anxiety levels and pain scores to see if these simple, non-drug interventions made a difference.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
stress ball and music therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer simple, drug-free ways to help patients feel more comfortable during heart procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study. The results may not apply to all patients or procedures, and the effect might be modest.
