About

The aim of this study is to evaluate if music listening relieves pain and discomfort during Extracorporeal Shock-Waves Lithotripsy (ESWL).

Full description

Patients undergoing ESWL and interested in music listening are randomly divided in two groups: patients in group A listen to music during the ESWL treatment, patients in group B do not.

At the end of the treatment patients are asked to fill in a questionnaire. They are asked if they were pleased to have had the opportunity to listen to music during ESWL, if they would like to listen to music again in case of further treatments, if they consider music helpful in relieving pain and discomfort during ESWL. Patients are also asked to mark their level of pain during each part of the treatment on a visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain.
