The BARBER Trial: Music and Binaural Beats During Prostate Biopsy

3. juli 2026 opdateret af: Francesca Vedovo, University of Trieste

Classical Music and Binaural Beats During Prostate Biopsy: The BARBER Randomized Controlled Trial

The goal of this clinical trial was to learn whether listening to classical music or binaural beats could reduce anxiety and pain in adult men undergoing prostate biopsy.

The main questions it aimed to answer were:

  • Does listening to classical music reduce anxiety and pain during prostate biopsy compared with no music?
  • Does listening to classical music with binaural beats reduce anxiety and pain during prostate biopsy compared with classical music alone or no music?

Researchers compared three groups of participants: one group listened to classical music, one group listened to the same music with binaural beats, and one group did not listen to music.

Participants were asked to complete anxiety questionnaires before and after the biopsy. They also rated their pain after the procedure, and blood pressure and heart rate were recorded before and after the biopsy.

Studieoversigt

Detaljeret beskrivelse

Prostate biopsy is a common urological procedure that may be associated with anxiety, pain, and discomfort. Music listening and binaural beats have been proposed as low-risk, non-pharmacological strategies to improve patient comfort during medical procedures.

This study was designed to evaluate whether a standardized auditory intervention could reduce anxiety and pain in men undergoing prostate biopsy under local anesthesia. Eligible participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: classical music, the same classical music track embedded with binaural beats, or no music. Anxiety was assessed before and after the procedure using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Form Y, while pain was assessed using a visual analog scale. Physiological parameters were also recorded before and after the procedure.

Våben og indgreb

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Binaural Beats Group
Participants listened to Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings embedded with a 6-Hz binaural beat during the prostate biopsy procedure.
Participants listened to Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings embedded with a 6-Hz binaural beat during the prostate biopsy procedure. The binaural beat was generated by presenting a 384-Hz tone to the right ear and a 378-Hz tone to the left ear. The audio track was delivered through wireless stereo headphones.
Aktiv komparator: Classical Music Group
Participants listened to Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings without binaural beats during the prostate biopsy procedure.
Participants listened to Samuel Barber's *Adagio for Strings* during the prostate biopsy procedure. The same musical track used in the binaural beats group was delivered without embedded binaural beats through wireless stereo headphones.
Aktiv komparator: No Music Group
Participants underwent the prostate biopsy procedure without listening to music or binaural beats.
Participants underwent the prostate biopsy procedure without listening to music or binaural beats.
