Music in Wide Awake Local Anesthesia no Tourniquet (WALANT) Hand Surgery: Prospective Randomized Control Trial

Wide awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) surgery has emerged as a popular technique in hand surgery over the last decade. It is possible that the unfamiliar sounds of the operating room could contribute to intraoperative patient anxiety during WALANT surgery. This study intends to investigate whether utilizing noise cancelling headphones and listening to music intraoperatively during WALANT hand surgery has an effect on patient anxiety, pain, and satisfaction.
