Individualized Music Versus Propofol for Perioperative Anxiety During Regional Anaesthesia

10 september 2026 uppdaterad av: University of Malaya

Comparing Professionally-prescribed Music by Music Therapist Versus Standard Practice Using Intravenous Sedative-hypnotic Agents on the Anxiolytic and Sedative Effect During Regional Anaesthesia: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Perioperative anxiety is common among patients undergoing surgery under regional anaesthesia. Intravenous sedative-hypnotic agents such as propofol are commonly administered to reduce anxiety and improve patient comfort; however, pharmacological sedation may reduce patient alertness and cause cardiorespiratory adverse effects. Music may provide a non-pharmacological alternative for reducing perioperative anxiety.

This prospective controlled study compared professionally prescribed individualized music with intravenous propofol sedation in adult patients undergoing surgery under regional anaesthesia. Participants in the music group received an individualized playlist curated by a professional music therapist following assessment of their music preferences and listening history. Participants in the sedative-hypnotic group received intravenous propofol sedation titrated according to clinical assessment.

Perioperative anxiety was assessed before and after surgery using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State (STAI-S) and a visual analogue scale (VAS). Intraoperative sedation and alertness were assessed using the Bispectral Index (BIS) and Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (mOAA/S), together with haemodynamic monitoring and patient satisfaction.

Studieöversikt

Detaljerad beskrivning

This was a prospective, single-centre, parallel-group controlled study conducted at University Malaya Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Adult patients scheduled for surgery under regional anaesthesia were allocated to either a music-therapy group or a sedative-hypnotic group according to their scheduled operating day.

Participants assigned to the music intervention underwent a preoperative assessment by a professional music therapist. The assessment included the participant's music-listening history and preferences, following which an individualized playlist was curated for intraoperative listening through headphones.

Participants assigned to the sedative-hypnotic group received intravenous propofol using target-controlled infusion, titrated according to clinical assessment and sedation monitoring.

Anxiety was evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively using STAI-S and an anxiety VAS. Intraoperative BIS, mOAA/S, haemodynamic variables and relevant rescue interventions were recorded. Postoperative patient satisfaction was also assessed.

The study received approval from the Medical Research Ethics Committee, University Malaya Medical Centre (MREC ID 2023418-12366), before participant recruitment, and written informed consent was obtained from all participants. The study was completed before registration on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Experimentell: Professionally Prescribed Individualized Music
Participants received professionally prescribed individualized music during surgery under regional anaesthesia. Before surgery, a professional music therapist assessed each participant's music-listening history and preferences and curated an individualized playlist. Music was delivered intraoperatively through headphones. Rescue intravenous sedation could be administered when clinically required.
Participants underwent a preoperative music assessment by a professional music therapist that included music-listening history and individual preferences. Based on this assessment, the music therapist curated an individualized playlist for each participant. The prescribed music was delivered intraoperatively through headphones during surgery under regional anaesthesia. Participants remained awake without routine intravenous sedation, although rescue sedation could be administered when clinically required.
Aktiv komparator: Intravenous Propofol Sedation

Tidsram
Change in State Anxiety Measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State (STAI-S)
Tidsram: Perioperative period: During preoperative assessment at the operating theatre reception bay; And during postoperative assessment in the post-anaesthesia recovery room, on the day of surgery
State anxiety was assessed using the 20-item State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-State (STAI-S) before and after surgery. The total score ranges from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating greater state anxiety. The outcome was the change in STAI-S score from the preoperative to the postoperative assessment.

Tidsram
Change in Anxiety Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Score
Tidsram: Perioperative period: During preoperative assessment at the operating theatre reception bay; And during postoperative assessment in the post-anaesthesia recovery room, on the day of surgery
Anxiety was assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) ranging from 1 (least anxious) to 10 (most anxious), with higher scores indicating greater anxiety. The outcome was the change in VAS score from the preoperative to the postoperative assessment.
Perioperative period: During preoperative assessment at the operating theatre reception bay; And during postoperative assessment in the post-anaesthesia recovery room, on the day of surgery
Intraoperative Bispectral Index (BIS)
Tidsram: Every 10 minutes from the start of surgery until completion of surgery.
Depth of sedation was assessed using the Bispectral Index (BIS). BIS values were recorded at 10-minute intervals during surgery to assess the level of sedation during the assigned intervention.
Every 10 minutes from the start of surgery until completion of surgery.
Intraoperative Level of Sedation Measured by Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (mOAA/S)
Tidsram: Every 10 minutes from the start of surgery until completion of surgery.
Alertness and sedation were assessed using the modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (mOAA/S) scale, ranging from 0 to 5. A score of 5 indicates that the participant is alert and responds readily to their name spoken in a normal tone, whereas a score of 0 indicates no response to a painful trapezius squeeze. Higher scores therefore indicate greater alertness and lower levels of sedation. mOAA/S was assessed at 10-minute intervals during surgery.
Every 10 minutes from the start of surgery until completion of surgery.
Intraoperative Systolic Blood Pressure
Tidsram: Every 10 minutes from the start of surgery until completion of surgery.
Systolic blood pressure was recorded at 10-minute intervals during surgery to assess haemodynamic changes during the assigned intervention.
