About

The goal of this study is to determine the effect of murottal and classical music on postoperative pain intensity and interleukin 6 levels in patients undergoing lower extremity orthopedic surgery with spinal anesthesia. This study also aims to evaluate whether these therapies can help reduce pain and influence the body's inflammatory response.

Main questions to be answered:

Can murottal or classical music reduce postoperative pain intensity in patients? Can the use of murottal or classical music lower the levels of interleukin 6, an inflammatory marker, in patients after lower extremity orthopedic surgery?

Participants will:

Listen to murottal or classical music during their lower extremity orthopedic surgery with spinal anesthesia.

Measure pain intensity and interleukin 6 levels before and after the intervention to assess the effect of the therapy.

Undergo routine checkups to ensure the safety and success of the therapy. This study aims to provide a deeper understanding of the use of non-pharmacological therapies such as murottal and classical music in managing pain and the inflammatory response in patients after orthopedic surgery.

Full description

This study aims to explore the impact of murottal (recitations of Islamic verses) and classical music on postoperative pain intensity and interleukin 6 levels in patients undergoing lower extremity orthopedic surgery with spinal anesthesia. Murottal and classical music are considered non-pharmacological interventions and have been suggested to have a calming effect that may help reduce pain and manage inflammation.

During the study, participants will be randomly assigned to receive either murottal, classical music, or standard postoperative care. Participants in the murottal group will listen to selected recitations durante operation, while participants in the classical music group will listen to classical music compositions.

Pain intensity will be assessed using a numeric rating scale (NRS) both before and after the intervention. Interleukin 6 levels, an inflammatory marker, will be measured using blood samples taken at the same intervals.

The goal is to determine whether these therapeutic interventions can help reduce pain and inflammation, as indicated by interleukin 6 levels, compared to standard care alone. Regular check-ups will be conducted to monitor safety and ensure the success of the therapy.

The findings of this study will help provide insights into the potential use of non-pharmacological interventions, such as murottal and classical music, in managing pain and inflammation in postoperative patients, with the potential to improve recovery outcomes
