Effect of ASMR and White Noise on Sleep Quality in Patients Undergoing Elective Lower Extremity Surgery
Sponsor: muzeyyen ataseven
Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) and white noise on postoperative sleep quality in patients undergoing elective lower extremity surgery. Postoperative sleep disturbances are common after orthopedic surgery and may negatively affect pain perception, recovery, and overall patient outcomes. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: ASMR intervention, white noise intervention, or control group. Patients in the intervention groups will listen to standardized 30-minute audio recordings before sleep during the postoperative period, while the control group will receive routine care with headphones only. Sleep quality will be assessed using the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ). The study aims to determine which non-pharmacological intervention is more effective in improving postoperative sleep quality.
