Music Listening to Reduce Pain and Anxiety During LEEP

August 29, 2016 updated by: Kittipat Charoenkwan, MD, Chiang Mai University

Effects of Music Listening During Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure on Anxiety, Pain, and Satisfaction: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) is the primary diagnostic and therapeutic procedure employed in women with high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia of the cervix. The procedure usually performed in the outpatient setting under local anesthesia. However, it could be associated with significant pain and anxiety.

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of listening to music during the procedure in reducing pain and anxiety.
