This study is looking at preoperative anxiety, which is the nervousness or worry that people feel before having surgery. The study will compare two different ways to help reduce this anxiety. One approach uses music therapy, where patients listen to music to help them feel calmer. The other approach uses a medication called midazolam, which is a medicine commonly given before surgery to help patients relax. The purpose of the study is to see how long the calming effect lasts with each of these two methods and to compare which one works better or for a longer time.
During the study, patients will receive either music therapy or midazolam before their scheduled surgery. The researchers will measure anxiety levels using different methods. They will use brain wave monitoring called electroencephalogram, which is a way to record electrical activity in the brain using sensors placed on the head. This monitoring is done with a device called Bispectral Index monitoring, which helps measure how alert or calm a person is. The researchers will also ask patients to complete questionnaires that measure anxiety levels. Additionally, they will check other body measurements such as blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen levels in the blood.
The study will track patients who are scheduled for different types of surgery, including those who will go home the same day and those who will stay in the hospital. The researchers will collect information about the type of surgery each patient is having and will watch for any unwanted effects. They will also note if patients are taking any regular medications. The information gathered will help doctors understand which method of reducing anxiety before surgery might work better and last longer for patients.
