About

To investigate the effect of Mozart music on postoperative pain and physiological parameters in patients after total thyroidectomy.

Full description

Postoperative pain is a major concern in postsurgical patients. Meanwhile, there is a general consensus on minimizing the use of analgesic drugs in patients undergoing total thyroidectomy. Therefore, alternative methods need to be investigated in order to reduce postoperative pain. Although the clinical importance of music has been recognised in other pathological situations, further research is needed to investigate the effect of music on postoperative pain.
