Trial overview
The available trial investigates TROCKENEXTRAKT AUS PASSIONSBLUMENKRAUT 5-7:1, AUSZUGSMITTEL ETHANOL 60 % (V/V) in the setting of eye surgery.[1] Its brief summary says the study aims to investigate the effect of music on perioperative pain and the effect of herbal medicine on perioperative pain.[1]
The trial is titled “The effect of music on perioperative anxiety and pain of patients undergoing retrobulbar anaesthesia.”[1] This tells us the research is centered on anxiety and pain around the time of surgery, not on long-term disease treatment.[1]
Who can participate
The study includes patients undergoing vitrectomy and/or cataract surgery.[1] These are eye operations, so the target population is people scheduled for these procedures.[1]
The trial data do not list any other eligibility details, such as age limits or extra medical conditions.[1] Based on the source, the main known group is patients having eye surgery with retrobulbar anaesthesia.[1]
What is being measured
The main endpoint is the NRS-P score 30 seconds after the retrobulbar block.[1] An endpoint is the main result a trial measures to see whether the study question is answered.[1]
NRS-P is a pain rating score, so this trial is checking how much pain patients feel very soon after the block.[1] The trial also looks at perioperative anxiety and pain more broadly, based on the study title and summary.[1]
Study design and status
The study is listed as Interventional and Low Intervention.[1] Interventional means the researchers are testing a planned approach in participants, while Low Intervention suggests a lower-burden study design.[1]
The status is Authorised, and the planned enrollment is 240 participants.[1] Enrollment means the number of people the study aims to include.[1]
Patient terms explained
Perioperative anxiety means worry or nervousness before, during, or after surgery.[1] Perioperative pain means pain linked to the surgery period.[1]
A retrobulbar block is an injection used around the eye to numb it for surgery.[1] The study checks the pain score shortly after this block to understand the immediate patient experience.[1]
Vitrectomy and cataract surgery are eye operations, and both are part of the study population described in the trial record.[1] The source does not provide more detail on outcomes beyond the pain score and the anxiety/pain focus.[1]
