Music Medicine in Coronary Interventional Cardiology Procedures
Sponsor: Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria di Sassari
Summary
The purpose of the study is: to evaluate the effectiveness of a personalized Music Medicine intervention in patients undergoing invasive coronary interventional cardiology procedures. The study will compare patients who listen to a personalized music playlist through wireless earphones throughout the procedure with patients receiving standard care without music. The primary objective is to assess whether Music Medicine reduces state anxiety, measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-Y1). Secondary objectives are to evaluate its effects on access-site crossover, procedural pain, blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation. The study will also assess adverse reactions, withdrawals, patient satisfaction with the intervention, and, in the Music Medicine group, patients' perceived experience through a semi-structured qualitative interview. The study is designed as a prospective, single-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups and a 1:1 allocation ratio, enrolling 208 participants. The question the study is trying to answer is: whether listening to a personalized music playlist during an invasive coronary interventional cardiology procedure, in addition to standard care, reduces state anxiety compared with standard care alone, and whether it also improves other relevant procedural outcomes, including pain, the need for access-site crossover, blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation, without interfering with routine clinical care
