Effect of Intraoperative Music on Inflammatory Response in Donor Hepatectomy

September 17, 2025 updated by: Istinye University

Effect of Intraoperative Music on Inflammatory Response in Adult Living Donor Hepatectomy.

It has been reported that non-pharmacological methods can be used as an alternative in addition to pharmacological methods to reduce pain, anxiety, stress and inflammatory response that begins with the surgical incision in the intraoperative period and continues throughout the operation. It has been reported that music can be used as an alternative non-pharmacological method to reduce pain and anxiety in the perioperative period, as well as surgical stress and the related stress response.

The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that music used as a non-pharmacological method in the intraoperative period can reduce inflammatory response in living donor hepatectomy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Music Group
Music will be delivered via headphones intraoperatively. Blood samples will be collected as per the protocol.
A music with a standard volume will be delivered to the patients via headphones from the beginning of anesthesia induction to extubation.
Active Comparator: Control Group
Headphones will be applied but no music will be played intraoperatively. Blood samples will be collected as per the protocol.
Headphones will be applied to the patients but no music will be played from the beginning of anesthesia induction to extubation.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Differences in Interleukin-6 (IL-6)
Time Frame: 4 hours
Serum levels of IL-6 will be measured preoperatively and postoperatively.
4 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Differences in preoperative State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scores
Time Frame: 20 minutes
assessed 1 day before surgery. The total score on the scale ranges from 20 to 80 points and a higher score represents greater anxiety.
20 minutes
Differences in postoperative State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scores
Time Frame: 20 minutes
assessed 1st day after surgery. The total score on the scale ranges from 20 to 80 points and a higher score represents greater anxiety.
20 minutes
Difference in tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alfa)
Time Frame: 4 hours
Serum levels of TNF-alpha will be measured preoperatively and postoperatively.
4 hours
Difference between serum levels of total antioxidant capacity (TAC) at preoperative and postoperative period.
Time Frame: 4 hours
Blood samples will be collected preoperatively and postoperatively to measure serum levels of TAC. Blood samples will be stored in medical refrigerator and analysis for serum levels of TAC will be done after collection of all samples.
4 hours
Difference between serum levels of total oxidant capacity (TOC) at preoperative and postoperative period.
Time Frame: 4 hours
Blood samples will be collected preoperatively and postoperatively to measure serum levels of TOC. Blood samples will be stored in medical refrigerator and analysis for serum levels of TOC will be done after collection of all samples.
4 hours
Difference in c-reactive protein (CRP)
Time Frame: 24 hours
Serum levels of CRP will be measured preoperatively and postoperatively.
24 hours
Difference in alanine aminotransferase (ALT)
Time Frame: 24 hours
Serum levels of ALT will be measured preoperatively and postoperatively.
24 hours
Difference in aspartate aminotransferase (AST)
Time Frame: 24 hours
Serum levels of AST will be measured preoperatively and postoperatively.
24 hours
Difference in creatinine
Time Frame: 24 hours
Serum levels of creatinine will be measured preoperatively and postoperatively.
24 hours
Differences in pain scores
Time Frame: 24 hours
Assessed 1st, 6th, 12th and 24th hour postoperatively. (from 0 (no pain) to 10 (maximal possible pain))
24 hours
